These days Im not the same
so much darkness that surrounds me and I wonder if anyone in my life can truly relate
to how easy it was to numb the pain
to shut the world out
lose myself in the endless game

Once lived a a young womenShe had stringy hair of gold that hung so delicately from her bony, pale white shouldersShe was a mystery, from top to bottom
Now I sit here and ponder, will you still be here? Will you come to my graduation, cheer for me as I accept my diploma? Will you walk me down the isle, eyes filled with tears?
Words such as herion and addiction,
not often would you assume stem from a prescription.
We curse the dealers flipping dime bags to survive
yet we assume doctors only intent is to save lives.
02/16/1998, birth ofKèlynn Brooks,Born to be great,A crazy fate,Too much on her plate
Infant years,I danced,Infant tears, Parents dear, both parents near,Both parents dry tears , from my face
I left her
Afraid scared and alone.
My guardian angel needs me.
I did not know my heart was her home.
I felt I could fight alone,
But I proved I am weak broken and a wreck.
Time after time I've turned to you
Time after time you you held me up
Time after time you tore me down
Time after time you brought me back up
You broke me, you built me
You killed me, you revived me
So alone
Out of time
Wanting to live
Going to die
Cannot breathe
Vision blurs
I cannot run
I’ve dug my grave
The needle sticks
And I go away
My vision clears
“It's not that difficult to overcome these seemingly ghastly problems...what's hard is to decide to actually do it.”
