Peers
should you do
what they want you to
destroying your innocence?
No,
the pain is not worth the thrill
or the acceptance,
just say no
please.

Call the local AA/NA office near you and go to a meeting,

Oddquain
Oddquain is a short, usually unrhymed poem consisting of seventeen syllables distributed
1, 3, 5, 7, 1 in five lines, developed by Glenda L. Shank.
Oddquain variations:
oddquain sequences - poems made up of oddquain stanzas
crown oddquains - a five stanza oddquain sequence
reverse oddquains - a oddquain with a reverse syllable pattern of 1-7-5-3-1
mirror oddquains - a two stanza oddquain sequence of the pattern 1-3-5-7-1 1-7-5-3-1
oddquain butterflies - a “merged mirror oddquain” where the two stanzas of a mirror
oddquain are merged together, one of the middle 1 syllable lines is dropped, resulting
in one nine line stanza of the form 1-3-5-7-1-7-5-3-1. Please note that a oddquain
butterfly is not a “oddquain” because it doesn’t have five lines, but it is “butterfly” made
up of two oddquains that were merged together into one poem.

I've always found it incredibly easy to say No to peer pressure;
others wanna sit there and smoke their bongs, joints -
shoot up or drink ... not my problem, they've offered plenty of times but each time is answered with a simple No.
I know it isn't easy for others, though I often wonder ... Why?
