A boy who feeds his unhealthy addiction; a diet of smoke and harmful substances.

Feeling helpless to

Break-free.

Being tortured by the consequences

While struggling with the next addiction.

It only continues to get harder

With every puff you take, and with every pill, you swallow.

Telling yourself tomorrow will be the day,

But the pain continues, for you, and for us..

Your family.

The struggle is like an ongoing battle.

Would you believe when you started

This at only age eighteen, that it would do this?

Staring at your reflection in the mirror,

Asking “Why, why did I do this?”

Saying you’ll remove yourself,

But here we are again.

To the next generation of users

Taken away by a killer drug

That they thought would set them

Free.
