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.
