"Re-pollination"

"Never again,
will I call drugs my friends,
I'm done with all that,
I give up that sin,
because it never amounted,
to any good,
and sometimes I wish,
I would've known from the start,
it never would,
be able to fix a broken heart.

Day after day,
another foot in the grave,
and there was nothing,
anyone could do or say.
My life was laid down.
I wouldn't even wake up,
unless drugs were around.
I chose fantasy,
over what is real,
and chose to numb the pain,
instead of feel,
and by doing that,
there was no way,
to heal.

I pray these poems,
are strong enough,
to reach your heart,
and give you enough hope,
to make a fresh start,
because you are only beaten,
if you believe it to be so,
every second that passes by,
you have the chance,
to tell the Devil no,
and put the drugs down,
and begin again to grow."
