| Just a poem....
A long time ago, years it has been
I used to be free of this prison I'm in
I always felt good, happy & content
Even the sad times weren't so bad- not yet
My friendships were vast
My love life was to last
I found peace within myself
My future, no one but me would cast
But one day, it seems so very far away,
All of what I used to be was all of a sudden crumbling right before me
At first it started with one puff, then two or more tokes
A few drinks turned into tons of liquid false hopes
Ten or more pills here and there, led my heart, soul & mind
Not to care
I stripped my soul of who I was
Taking whatever drugs in excess, just because
Not caring about family or myself
I was oblivious of my destruction
Never slowing down, even though I could barely function
I lost a lot of precious things I can never get back
What I am left with I can't even stack
But I know for my future I have the most important thing
I have my life and my daughter
Which to me is EVERYTHING!!!!!
