I'M The Only Drug You Need! Poem by Lagaya Evans

My mind goes back to before
Times I’ve stored from yesterday
My little ones and all their friends
At school on the playground at play

Hiding in the dark outside
A sleepover ever now and then
Ballgames, popcorn, and pizza
An occasional movie at weeks end

Now you’re all grown up
And your friends have gone their way
But all too often we hear of tragedy
That takes me back to a day

I see pictures running in my mind
You and your little friend
Now someone tells me so abruptly
That they’ve come to their end

A life not meant so quickly
To taste the sting of death just now
I look back to their younger years
Seems so worthless some how

You don’t dare imagine in youth
Will I live past eighteen?
You think I am invincible
Plenty of time for the world to see

We none no the time or day
In an instant we could be gone
How is your life your living?
Can you call Heaven your home?

I’ve wrote this for a friend
My son has had since he was eight
Now she lay lifeless in the dark
Another victim of drugs in wait

Young people why must you play
With something that will always win
A ploy used by satan himself
To snare your life for him

How can all be so bad?
That you chance your life to live
And all for what I ask?
You only have one life to give

Listen like you won’t hear again
You don’t know your end of time
You can confirm where here after
Make it with Christ, choose life!

My heart is saddened
For the memories of a little girl
One that is so senselessly gone
Taken by the idols of this world

Don’t let her life be in vain
Look and learn from her choice
One that has affected us all
From the grave hear her voice

Drugs are meant to destroy
And they serve their purpose just fine
For the one that sits back and laughs
As he watches each and every time

More importantly do you feel the tug?
Jesus saying, “I’m the only drug you need!
Give me your life today
Feel the high of being freed? ”
