GET OUT NOW

Days of youth tormented with pain
Gone the sunshine, signs of much rain
Why so many suffer today with drugsCan they be replaced with care and hugs 

Bounce back to your life the way it wasYour life really matters just because
You, born of love and not of hateLife's what you make it, don't fall for the bait Get out of the drug house, it's a losing gameUp in there you will find nothing to gain Stand up for yourself with all of your worthDon't  fall for the drugs with all of it's curse

Get out of it now before it's too lateTo bury another soul, who could have been great.

This poem

Thinking tonight of a family member that lost his life at a tender age of 25 all because of pain and drugs. My cousins son who passed five years ago. As I see other young and old alike abusing prescriptions drugs or street drugs, there is a better way and I hope you may someday see it. This piece could be for old and young alike who suffer today. God be with you in your will to get away from drugs once and for all. Happy Easter to you Love Maics02 Learn to live, learn to forgive. Life is too short.

Thank you Indi

Happy Easter to you and the family. Yes I try to format it better and may come back to it later again thanks for pointing it out to me. I did not spend alot of time in these words as they just flowed from my mind and pen. Love You, Mona Learn to live, learn to forgive. Life is too short.

Hi Mona

I agree with Indi's comments above...the sentiment is good..but the format could be stiffened and then the message could be stronger. Happy Easter. Ells x

Bravo Mona. If possible I

Bravo Mona. If possible I think people should avoid the hard drugs that control the mind and behaviour. Alcohol too, but I have to confess that alcohol is something I don't avoid, but should at times. But with alcohol you can sober up quickly, some hard drugs has to play out it's effect for a long time whether you like it or not! Rosina xena465

Yes

Too many doctors freely prescribing oxycontin to young folks who are abusing it for street highs and then there are those who get it bookleg it is bad here as alot of our young men and women are dying due to it getting into the wrong hands of an addict. A glass of wine or two is different, but then again they abuse that too. I have seen too many die from drugs anymore and until it is stopped from over medicating the young ones there is no way to stop the addiction from them getting it anyway they can. It is sad and true and then when someone uses it that it depressed to begin with it could be the thing to tip them over.. This is what happen to my cousins boy. No one could stop him either. Sad..but true. I am glad to see you grace my page. take it one day at a time and I shall talk to you soon my Rosalina. Love, Mona Learn to live, learn to forgive. Life is too short.
