I sit here in my own music listening
Tears in my eyes glistening
They have no idea
How much I fear
Anger swells inside my heart
Such knowledge tears me apart
Always I'm on the outside watching you
I see, I hear, I die, because of what you do
Are you so alone, so afraid
Your eyes turn to mine and I see you fade
You're killing yourself slow
You are the one bringing yourself low
I'm here on the outside never to come in
If only I could help you win
I'm out here waiting for you to come out
I will not allow myself to doubt
You will come through and I will wait
I pray that you will not realize to late
I won't give up I will pray
That you will live by a different way.
Author notes
Its poem only expressing a little of how much it hurts me when my friends turn to drugs. How I die inside as I watch them slowly fade away.

This was really sad . And something that also needed said. I hope those friends are lucky enough to read it. I know first hand how much it hurts to see someone you love turn to drugs.My
sister is on meth and she lost the ability to be happy or feel any emotion but anger. Thank you for writing this poem .Maybe it may help ones who use to see they are not only hurting themselves but also the ones who care.
