A Poem Written by Vivian Ennis 09/27/2000
The addict oh how they use
drugs are not the only things they abuse
it is not just themselves they hurt so bad
their friends and family they also make sad
They use and abuse to escape a life they don’t want to live
because of this they really don’t know how to give
But they take and take it’s what they do
causing others to be extremely blue
Getting all high in their head
and when they are sober wishing they were dead
not wanting to feel the pain they are truly in
passing all of this pain on to their kin
It’s the loved ones are who are really at loss
the abuse they accept at their own sanity's cost
so at the loved ones hand is this suffering
only the user of drugs can bring
A pain too hard to explain
the family suffers in complete utter pain
because the addict’s behavior brings on strife
oh what a waste of a precious life
