Short hair grows slowly

Long blonde bangs flow softly

Blue eyes so touching and free

Fingernails bitten off

Rugged and sharp

Smiles never found

Darkness follows 

Thin stalky legs slither 

A groan comes from her

pain is all she knows

dark circles enclose her eyes

Lines of white cover a mirror

rolled paper and shaky hands

One more line wont hurt

I'm done after that

up the nose it goes

That one more line that wont hurt

Then the children see

Mom's still the same

she'll never change

Children flee

Indeed it is very hard to get away from the drug scene. Sad that children do have to deal with seeing their parents do things like this in some situations, but it's better they're taken away then any other possibilities... Great write. Touching.

N.A. is next.

Drugs allow the mind to forget all things worthwhile. A very sad poem. No excuse for parent to allow children to see drug use.. A strong poem. Children rarely have a place to run.

I got reminded of "Turn the page" cover sung by Metallica featuring Ginger Lynn. Not totally sure if that is where you intended to head.

[MiidniightSoul]

Such a heartbreaking and sad poem. And the ending is even more sadder, I hate just how much some children have to suffer, physically and emotionally, 'cause of the poor care of parents. Very beautifully written.
