Post Raid Conditions
Christmas lights guide the way up the staircase
Snaking through dirt and drywall all the way up to the top apartment where the door has betrayed its hinges
Black uniforms infiltrated the building like the sun infiltrating the shattered windows
My stomach sinks as I enter the ruins
The impending doom of withdrawal like approaching storm clouds overhead
Doomed like the unborn baby inside the girl that was in this same apartment with me last week
Belly bulging
Needle hanging from her arm
Apartment abandoned like the will to live
Snaking through dirt and drywall all the way up to the top apartment where the door has betrayed its hinges
Black uniforms infiltrated the building like the sun infiltrating the shattered windows
My stomach sinks as I enter the ruins
The impending doom of withdrawal like approaching storm clouds overhead
Doomed like the unborn baby inside the girl that was in this same apartment with me last week
Belly bulging
Needle hanging from her arm
Apartment abandoned like the will to live

This is incredibly powerful. Your words leave the reader to understand what addiction feels like and sounds like.✌
Thank you Legertha! I am not sure if I ever intended for anything I write to make the reader feel or understand addiction but thinking about it,I am extremely happy that poems can be strong enough to do that without the reader having to go through those horrors. I def appreciate that though.How is your friend doing if you don't mind me asking? (When you had asked if 2 years in was essentially too far) think it was under the piece "bluejay"

Thanks for asking. It's my 22 yr old daughter Hope. The poem is titled HOPE.
I see her in two days. She's making money off her looks right now on Instagram. She's registered for college. I can only hope that she follows through.
I could feel and understand what you wrote because words have power and you spoke with your truth, your life and from the heart of your mind.
I am old enough to be your mother, but I remember what it feels like to have barrel at my head. So, I'll ask you again. Is 2 yrs in too far to get back out? If you don't comprehend what I am asking. PM me. I am in and out of here all the time. Sometimes I am gone for a week in here. Please take the time to respond no or yes. I get it is an individual's experiences. I would not have asked you, if I didn't think you wouldn't answer me either. I'm not trying to be a bitch, I'm just trying to save my fucking daughter Nick.
