Never Forgotten

Never Forgotten She's someones sister, she's someones daughter though she thought they'd all forgot her waking up next to guys she didn't know head hurting from too many lines of blow partying till the brink of dawn wondering why her cars parked on the lawn feeling like her life had been so unjust the bottle was all she learned to trust she could feel everyones icy glare telling herself she didn't really care knowing her boss was going to go beserk it was the fifth time in two weeks she was late for work scared she was going to get fired she called in sick to get wired this time she'd been in too long a roll the drugs had finally taken their toll at the funeral no one had forgotten her she was someones sister , she was someones daughter

James, this well written lament on the ravages of addiction had me reflecting on the lives I have seen devastated, both the addict and those who suffer with the addict. Thanks for participating in the contest and welcome to the "soup".
