-Lost Lonely Girl

Lost lonely girl needle in her arm
Trapped in her world of addiction
Using her body to pay her way
To numb her pain and affliction 

Sick and infected body and mind
Beauty since faded
Teeth now black or gone
Filthy, ashamed ,degraded

Surrendered herself to this deadly drug
It’s slowly consumed her soul
Each day she slipped further away
Her life succumbed to that big black hole

Lost lonely  girl…….now just another statistic!
