" WORTHLESS PRIDE "

Folder: 
Addiction



You think that it's cool,

to do drugs and drink.

Leaving your mind,

to where it can't think.

Possibly making you handicapped,

or leading to death.

All because you wanted,

some cocaine or meth?

Loosing everything you have,

and throwing everyone aside.

Stealing from other's,

because of your own worthless pride.

Is all of this loss,

worth everything to you.

Living your life in misery,

and making other's suffer too?

There's one thing in particular,

that you need to understand.

Many people like me are here,

to lend a friendly hand!!



Dedicated To Those Who Are Lost

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem was written about an ex-close friend of mine. Our friendship was terminated because they were unable to leave their addiction alone. Can you live moment's of, what you call pleasure, for a lifetime of misery and pain? If you need help there are people who are there for you. Trust me it's not easy to loose a friend or a family member to drug's! And even if none of this matter's, then is it worth loosing your brain to drug's too?

hey, i am at a pretty rough stage of my life because i have finally admitted to myself that i am an addict, and although i am only 21 i have been addicted since i was 14... i finally found out i was an addict when i failed a drug test for the marine corps and i am now in danger of being kicked out, they made me seek help and that may be what is going to save my life, i have been clean now since december 8th but it is not getting any easier yet because my road to recovery is going to be very long... but like your poem i have had the help of some very close friends that was unexpected, this poem means a lot to me and i thank you for writing it

I really love this poem. I lost one of my best friend's because of drug addiction. I couldn't stand being around her when she was in her paranoid dellusional state. Great work!
