I Watched a Man
I watched a wonderful man lose his soul,
all for the love of a tiny meth hole.
A tiny meth hole that punctured his skin,
I often wondered,
Will he ever be the same again?
I watched a sexy man lose his soul,
all the for the love of a dirty meth whore.
A dirty meth whore who stole his money,
I had to asked him,
What are you to do now, hunnie?
I watched a smart man lose his soul,
all for the love of the meth trap game,
a meth trap game that stole all of his time,
I often reminded him,
Is it really worth this small town crime?
I finally watched a strong man find his soul,
That hole is no longer damage to his skin,
now a real life can certainly begin,
I can reassure him,
Now YOU know the great man within.

So on point
I've watched my brother Fall into addiction serve 8 years to be released then pick up where he left off.
I've watched my sister and my cousin go to the grave in their addiction.
I've left my kid's father over 20 years ago because of his addiction. He recently was released from his 3 yr sentence and picked up where he left off in his addiction.
I've watched my son go to prison because of his addiction and still is serving his time.
But to be honest I'm glad he's still there. Because it's very hard to sleep at night worried if he's sleeping behind a dumpster, getting beat or robbed, or worse if and when he may od.
Drugs can have a very powerful grip. I salute those who has battled and won their lives back.

Very relatable spill. My father died from AIDS, brought on by intravenous drug abuse. He was violent, sold everything we had. We were often hungry, sometimes homeless. I'm glad your piece closes on a high note.
