As you choose to be blinded & you can not see, <br />Sit back & listen what happened to me. <br />I was carefree & happy enjoying my teens, <br />When all of a sudden i could not see. <br />The crowd that i hung with & thought were my friends, <br />Turned out to be evil & on 'crack' they depend. <br />Wanting to fit in & feeling quite weak, <br />One time wont hurt me as excitement i seek. <br />Well that one time sent me on a spiraling ride, <br />To the devils own playground with my 'friends' by my side. <br />Nothing mattered to me anymore <br />With the plummeting weight & face full of sores. <br />Unconsciously i stole from all that i loved, <br />To feed my addiction as i prayed to God above. <br />Help me to scramble back to this earth, <br />for this child cant be addicted the day i give birth. <br />Some how he listened & pulled me from hell, <br />The journey was hard but I'm starting to look well. <br />My baby is growing & now safe from all harm, <br />Tears of joy will flow as i hold this gift in my arms. <br />I can only explain what happened to me, <br />And hope you will wake up & finally see. <br />That this evil drug is not all it seems, <br />It can destroy all you are & your total being. <br />If you open your eyes before its too late, <br />You will not spiral at a devastating rate. <br />Life is too short with so much to learn, <br />Please heed my warning before you get burnt. <br />I give you my prayers & all the support that you need, <br />And hope that you listen so you can be freed. <br />Your journey wont be easy <br />But I, ll be here every step of the way, <br />As you regain your strength & smile again <br />A little every day....<br /><br />HELEN.J WILLIAMS<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blinded-17/
