This was a really good poem. It touch me because I use to do herion and I did not understand the people that loved me how bad I hurt them. I dint know I was love and everything people were doing was to save me. I want to thank my mother for not giving up on me because i would be dead right now. in the eyes of a 16 year old! Tina

I thought that was a really good poem. I can really relate to it. I'm just afraid that will happen to my sister. She is doing drugs she's only 17. She's kicked out of the house and I'm worried about her. I really hope she'll be alright.

This poem seemed like you knew me personally. Life always starts out with hope as you said, but then fades out as life goes on. You go into a slunder and the only way out seems to be the easiest escape but not the best. I just wanted to let you know that I did enjoy this poem.

Kristy

Jessica

I really did enjoy that poem. I am sorry about your friend I know what it is like to lose a loved one to drugs. Drugs are horrible things and I believe that your poem might help people see that.

I loved that poem. it was so sad, and yet so true. I write poems to. And what you wrote is very true. I have only 25 days clean of off crank. And i relly dont want to do it anymore. my life is messed up as well as my brain and i know ill never be normel agin. And im only 15. I hate being locked up i hate the fighting, i hate what i did to get the drug. i hate it all. I hate myself. If anyone reads this please please just do yourself a faver and dont start doing dope. any kind. crank, coke, none of it. you may think its fun. but beleve me. youll ether be insane, dead, or incarrsarated in the end.

Your poem gives hope and strength to those who feel judged on the basis of their addiction. It's heart warming to know that there are still caring, understanding, open-minded people out there.

Crystal

This poem is so true and really touched me. There are so many teens who do drugs and don't realise it's not worth it. They don't realise they are so many better things in life rather than smoking drugs and being cool. Just DREAM!

Ashley

This poems is so true on young teens these days because it seems as though all that is going on in this world is young kids doing drugs or selling it and i know because my daughter died from an over dose of herroin i really am impressed. Thank-you~ Great POEM~
