Slowly I Fade
As I am slowly fading away
My body grows weaker & weaker each day.
Injections into my arms
then into my other bodily parts.
A needle been filled only with poison
That's why with this poem my words in am voicing.
My life started out all good to begin
But along the path of journey I noticed something missing.
Was it the love of another or just even a friend
Someone whom I could truly rely on in life to depend.
Where & when did life change so dramatically
When did I on my life become lost along its pathway?
Who wad to blame for letting me down
Who or another could I lay the blame on & frown.
Because I didn't see what I had done wrong
Perhaps I'd become blinded when weakness was strong.
I couldn't admit to being the failure that today I've become
Why am in being punished in more ways most & even more some.
I began taking to drinking alcoholic beverages quite
Which become more by the days & nights passing in cloyded hazily sight.
Then when hos was no longer doing its best in my need
it was then i took to substances much greater for my habit to feed.
Losing my friends my family tried to warn me in vain
The path I had chosen was going to kill me only if I chose in it's habits sustain.
But still they stood by me & probably battled harder than me
For I could no longer see as soon tarred with the label of a heroine junkie.
Only tooting at first until I wanted it's hit to be strengthend more
That's when I took to the injecting with needles in my skins every pore.
And when I ran out of feeling for only the effects of the drugs
Soon I began rattling heavily in pain in this blinded game only for mugs.
Friends were no longer & family was now scarce in my life
Soon to be all alone in darkness of a bottomless pit in its strife.
In deeper and deeper I soon began stealing from shops
Then even off the closest of kin until shopped to the cops.
Sat in my police cell I soon started to think
about what went wrong in life choices sending me to the depths that I sink
