Addicts Confession Poem by louis rams

Addicts Confession

Here I am staring at the wall wondering how I lost it all
I had a job, a family - two children, or was it three?
I started off smoking weed and on my head it did feed.
Then I started with crack and smack, and that was the end of that
Now I lost all control as it took over my body and soul
I started to cheat, steal and lie, just to get that ultimate high
Everything I worked for all my life and all my dreams and sacrifice
Disappeared in a blink of an eye, just because I wanted to get high.
You may control it at first start - but with time it will tear you apart.
Listen to me and take my advice - think about it before it becomes your life.
