What do you think this poem is about?

A Drug Infested Mind

A lonely baby cries
as her single mother
tries to open her eyes

A drug infested mind
not allowing her to hear
her baby cry

She keeps telling everyone
everything is fine
so she can keep
living the lie
and living the life

Until she opens her eyes
a lonely baby still cries

    Well written i have seen through the eyes of the child who cries and must say I love it
    Describes the moment that lead up to my poem no memories no pictures
    Until she opens her eyes
    a lonely baby still cries

    Heartfelt and true. Drugs and alcohol
    numb our hearts and souls and we become
    unresponsive and uncaring.

    I have no doubt that this is too often true and also for fathers. A finely written piece concerning a very serious issue.
