Addict Poem by Donna Saphier

When you are happy, you wear a smile
But that's not with you all the while
You sometimes cry. you're often sad
The life you've had was pretty bad

Tired body, messed up head
It is a wonder that you're not dead
But you chose drugs and that lifestyle
Now it's with you all the while

In the morning when you wake
Drugs is what you have to take
All day long that's what you need
You are an addict, Yes indeed

You still can change the way you think
Before you do begin to sink
I will help you kick cocaine
Just stop before you go insane

Ill stay beside you at your side
And wipe those tears that you have cried
Every single step of the way
Do this for us, I hope and pray

I want to see that smiling face
Knowing you have won the race
I'm here for you, today, forever
I know deep down you're smart and clever

You smile at me
And hold my hand
And whisper yes I understand
