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

A real good poem, A lesson well taught by this poem, Well written
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.
that's a great poem.. i will learn from your poems
Very nice..a message is worth converying
I agree with you...I like your poem...this is a Great Poem...
good write.i again like your style of short lines, but meanwhile it also conveys the message aptly.
Truly, truly... Took my breath and hurt (a compliment) the juxtaposition of possibilities of (t) . Ty dave.. I love the raw emotions of humanity of your writes... Ty.., Karen
I really like this, it speaks the truth...
I have no doubt that this is too often true and also for fathers. A finely written piece concerning a very serious issue.
