Drugs are everywhere just go to a doctor they don't care
My son could get any drugs anywhere this I do swear
Drug addiction to the extreme more than I've ever seen
Watching my son slowly kill himself wishing he'd get clean
Always loving him but learning that I had to let go
It has taken me years to finally learn, why I don't know
Pills everywhere all over the floor all different kinds
Forgetting he just popped a pill, another blows my mind
So messed up he can't even walk and could barely crawl
It makes me so sick I too fall on the floor and ball
For this drug addict to the extreme he was my son
There was a time in life when we would also have fun
Especially these last three months of sobriety, I hoped he won
Just in one day with the wrong group of friends, he would run
So hard to understand why would you do this, things were so good
How could you do this, yet with those certain friends you would
Engaged, drivers license back and walking so well with Lord
September 16th, 2007 my son overdosed, why because he was bored?
This disease of drug addiction, as a mother the overdose I always had dread
Drug addiction has a mind of it's own another overdose and now my son is dead

Author notes
Read my other poems and you will see how true this poem is! Why would I make something up like this. I am devastated and I hate drugs because I speak up that it is a matter of life or death for many and is becoming more and more for most who experiment or do them! As a mother can you see the pain that it causes and the beautiful life of a child is lost from the evil addiction of Drugs! Option#3__________OPTION #3

HOODWINKED !!!
This poem is an excellent wake-up call for Parents and youth who are thinking there is nothing wrong with drugs. Hopefully your words can help many teens to open thier eyes to the danger and destructive nature of drugs. Through your pain you are reaching out to others and you are to be commended for this selfless act of kindness. Thanks for sharing this thoughtful poem.
You have been Hoodwinked by the Poetic Bandits today because WE CARE!

Hoodwinked!!
Kelle,
there are perhaps words I could write and fill in space here save for they would not be anywhere near as important or meaningful as your own were. Am oft guilty of too much expression, this time I shall just feel. thank you

I call the contents of this poem sensitive anger draped with love. Oh Kelle Marie - I am sad when I read this poem. You have a wonderful way of heart's expression, there is substance in this poem - the sad thing is that it is true. I sense your longing, but also your intent to want others to be careful - to take a look at life's reality - to also be aware of the in-depth sorrow felt by those that remain. Keep this up - there are some of us out here that need also the words of encouragement ingrained in the warning you have so sensitiviely conveyed. God bless and nurture you in His peace. Frans.

Your son sounds like my friend. I know my friend only does drugs because his friends offered it to him but I think he should step up and beyond the 'peer pressure' and act like he has a head on his shoulders instead of smoking pot. I know he's tried other things though and I know he's going to do it too much one day and ruin his future-- even his life. I thought he wasn't addicted but he does it more than he told me. He's addicted and he pushed one of his best friends away (Not me) and the only reason I stick around is because I live off of old memories of him when he was a funny kid and had a mind and knew what he was doing. It's disappointing. His dad caught him and he was told to quit and he takes a test and he said as soon as his dad stops giving him a drug test every week, he's going to start smoking all over again. I was in shock and I had to rub my eyes to make sure I wasn't asleep.
A wonderful yet sad write.

This was so good, and i have seen many of my friends overdose on speed, ecstacy, ice and many others!
I once again am very sorry for your loss and I cn truly feel your anger on this subject in this emotional piece of writing!
Well done Kelle!
Stay safe and strong, and you know I'm always here for you!

I hope just one person will listen to your story, and get the help they may need. This story is heartbreaking. I count my blessings everyday, than my boys did not go down that road. One of my boys likes to drink now and then, but not much now that he is a brand new daddy.
You did a great job on this one. Best of luck in this conteset hon.
and much love

This is an awesome and heartbreaking poem, Kelle. I know it takes courage to write something like this when it's about your own child. I hope writing is helping you cope.
Good luck in the contest
Dee
