Oh my, this reminds me of a person I once knew, she is now dead, unfortunately at the hands of her own son, due to drugs, it was a very sad situation. She lived for many years in a wheelchair and could only move her head no more that a quarter of an inch. A very bright, nice, beautiful person on the inside and out, shot down by drugs. Drug users have no idea how they affect those that love them. Your poem is truly sad and could easily bring tears to those that find themselves in similar situations.---Melvina
