![]() Drugs: The self suicideA Poem by Jess HoldenThe sunlight burnt our lips, As we held our tounges, We had to keep secret, What we had become.
Years past as they must, Coming forth a new lust, For things we had always feared, Turned and whispered to ear:
"You want to try, But it's a lie, You think you are ready, But your mind you must keep steady, For the road ahead is a bumpy one, One that ends in shun, Don't give yourself up to me, Open your eyes to see."
Taking no note or care, Carrying on in the sunlight air, Laughter quieting to a hum, A new deal only mean for some.
A deal for a hellish grave, One discovered, at none other, than a rave, A teenage wonder; a mystery to most, A fear to others that are now just a ghost.
White like snow but powerful too, This one can do many things to you: Destroy your brain, Maybe end your life, All these things taken into a life.
Brown and addictive, Feels like a beetle, Coming through the tip of a needle.
Green and grown, Never so bad, Till you realize what's left, And that makes you sad.
Left and the end of the bumpy road, Did you listen to all you were told?
The sunlight burnt our lips, As we held our tounges, We had to keep secret, What we had become. © 2011 Jess HoldenAuthor's Note
