When We Were Young

Painful read... I've seen first hand what drugs can do to someone... it really sucks all the life out of a person...

There's only so much you can do as a bystander!

Great write, my friend... the innocent picture suits the poem really well...

I have many family and friends that got sucked into that life. It's heartbreaking to see. I'm not perfect, but there is a point where drugs can take over a persons life. And yes, there is almost nothing you can do. It's difficult to change once you get pulled into addiction. Thanks for reading 🤗

Very well written

Thanks 😁 Glad you enjoyed

this hurt my heart to read a most painful thing having someone slowly fade away into the drug abyss..

passionate write sending you love my friend..

It is painful. I lost 2 uncles to drugs. I always felt my uncle Dave's story was so sad. He was in the military, loved by many people. Found a girl who he loved and thought he would spend his life with. I guess things didn't work out and she took everything of his. He spent the rest of his life as a junky. Just seemed so lonely and tragic to me. Thanks for enjoying. Much love and hugs back to you 🤗

My heart goes out to you! Im so sorry for your loose your words have touched me.My sister was an addict for 7 years it was such a very painful time.I had a few friends to turn to how helped me through it.Every day I felt so sad and all I wanted was a magic wand to get her off the herion.I was always there for her to cook her a meal or buy her food.I was so surprised one day she called me from rehab and has been drug free for 9 years.I'm so proud of her as coming clean was not easy 🌈🌺

That's such an amazing story. Good for your sister to be able to kick that habit. I was never into hardcore drugs but there was a time I did them. After seeing my dad and brother become addicts, plus other friends and family; I just didn't want any part of that. Thanks for reading my poem. You get a hug 🤗

I can relate to this so much. We were young and naive. We both dabbled in drugs as teenagers. I got pregnant. Grew up. He couldn't. 13 years later, 3 kids as well. He's addicted to heroine, in an out of jail. I'm left raising our 3 children, wondering where their father is. The sad reality.

Unfortunately your story is a rather common one. Drugs ruin families and relationships. It's especially hard when you love someone and have to watch them destroy their lives. My heart goes out to you. You get a hug 🤗

I know someone like this & they are a living nightmare to be around when things get bad, as they always do eventually. It's gotta come from them, whether or not they wish to turn their lives around. You are right to walk away & neither should you feel guilty for that. Sounds like you've exhausted all options only to have them thrown back in your face.

Yeah, at that point only they can help themselves. Thanks for reading my poem 😁
