She started drugs and I told her that I would stop being her friend unless she quit, becasue he life is so messed up now, she shouldn't mess it up any worse. She doesn't listen. [bodytext] => You tell me
"Just one more. Then I'll quit."
That one became three
And then some more
I said I had enough
You say you treasure our friendship
But you would rather smoke dope
Weed and other things. Maybe coke
Well I aint going to hang out with you
My future is bright
That smoke will darken it
I say that hoping
You'll quit for me
Please, oh, please
Give it up
Grab my hand and I'll save you
But instead you seal your fate
With that fatal puff
And I watch your glorious future

Dear DesolantDreamer,
I am just curious... I read your poem very thoroughly and what I saw is that your 'lost' friend valued your friendship more than you or at least you show it so...

I hope she manages to find a way out of her addiction, all they ever do is destroy lives.
If she is lucky she will find a way to save herself, but she has to want to.

I have all the sympathy in the world for individuals who seek to cope with the internal quagmire any way they can...it's hell...I never did the strong stuff, but I smoked...year after year...failure after failure...I tried my darnedness to quit...couldn't...then I was diagnosed ADD and was prescribed Concerta...a controlled substance...basically an upper...my smoking fell away...I'm also on an anti-depressant...the strongest doses available on each...people that seek drugs to cure their ills might just be listening to the inner voice telling them they have a physiological chemical imbalance...brain theory is just beginning to touch the many subtle ways that minute amounts of chemicals either trigger or prevent the triggering of essential processes...

Bless you...it's hard watching the struggle...

again, blessings,
