Twenty Two

Beautiful curls flowing down Large sparkling eyes, enticing Life just starting recieved a death sentence Though death has been around every corner since seventeen She keeps on the dark, wide path Shady deals and lies Doesn't know the truth Old cadillacs, old smelly men Needles...oblivion Where am I? What is that stinch? Crying baby number five Won't get to raise this one either Gave this one drug addiction and Hepititis C No never thought I would be that person Addiction Drug addiction has claimed a young lady I know who has 5 small children, that have been taken from her due to her inability to take care the kids and addiction. The last child she had has Hepatitis C and drug addiction. All of her kids were born with addiction and other mental problems. Such a sad life...She will die if she does not get a liver transplant within a year... at 22.
