[hometext] => Desperation is an awful thing. Show some light to those in the dark
[bodytext] => This lack of empathy astounds me He was a boy with a family He was a boy who struggled just like you more than you, but to you hes just another one who couldnt put it down one whose blackout in our town one who did it too himself what if you could have been the one to help? This pettiness is overwhelming Who are you to judge when you dont know his story Maybe he got injured and prescribed some pills He realized they took his pain, but cost too many bills In his head he knows that its wrong but its cheaper and its strong and everybody walks past by, not knowing all he wanted to hear was "are you doing alright?" but to you hes just another one who couldnt put it down one whose blackout in our town one who did it too himself what if you could have been the one to help I get it, youve never been an addict Hopeless variety store stealing your next package Or on the streets, sick for a fix Hoping to numb the pain, sipping from your fifth so for now hes just another one who couldnt put it down one whose blackout in our town one who did it too himself what if you could have been the one to help Lets try to change the world today ask "how can I help you" instead of "how did you become this way" Show some hope to those who need it instead of walking by Show some unconditional love Like we knew when we were young Someone was there for us Thats why we didnt do what they do what I do. We keep seeing on the news about all these people overdosing, dying, 21 years old. And we just say "thats sad" then we go back to whatever show we were watching. We could be out there going to meetings, going to the streets and talking, just have a conversation. Because I know, hope is a beautiful thing. If you can love someone whose an addict or an alcoholic, you might change their life. But if you go down the road just judging, without trying to understand or walk a mile in someone elses shoes You have no right to tell them "Its all in your head" or "Why cant you just put the needle down, the bottle down, or the pills down?" Show some compassion. "You dont have to live like this" "I want to help" "I love you" pat346, PLEASE: To help keep this site INTERACTIVE, please read and comment on at least 3 poems by our other authors for each one you submit.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
