Stick that needle in your arm
Smoke that pipe
Snort that powder
Wash away the pain
Drain away reality
The high is immediate
The addiction beckons you
They call you back
Over and over
One time
Keeps you going back
For more and more
I watch you
Drowning in your mistakes
This disease is taking over us
I watch our family disintegrate
As the drugs take you deeper
As you fade away from us
As your life falls further
Into the pits of regret and addiction
We get dragged down as well
Drowning with you
You're killing all of us
As the blackness threatens to swallow us for good
How well is the emotion portrayed?

There is very strong emotion in this. I really like how you show the reader how addiction hurts everyone involved not just the addict. I could feel a lot of pain and hopelessness in this.

Thank you for the kind comment. My family has gone through a lot because of addiction to drugs.
