It started at 14

It started at parties

It started fun


“I’ll just try it”

It started once, then again, and again


Now it’s not once

Now I can’t escape

Now I have joined the social evil


It started at 14

It started fun

Now the all consuming addiction chokes me 

Waiting for my last breath


I watch as my family goes to extremes to help me

I can stay clean

I will

For them


I tried, tried, I tried

Relapse.


It’s not fun anymore

Everything I own, my baby, sold for another taste

What’s left?


Society doesn’t care if a drug addict dies

A bad person who deserves death

Other people got clean, why not me?


It started at 14

It ended at 31.
