Take Your Poison- Part 2
by Joan SerratelliThe world has changed
It seems like it has
been about 100 yrs
since I wrote the that poem
t
My youngest child is now 33
and finally doing well
It's hard to believe
that her whole life has been a battle
against the "family curse"-Addiction
She took her poison
had 2 kids
She cannot see
Doctor's do not listen
She told them- NO DRUGS-
but they insisted
Her second child was born
addicted- He suffered horribly
She cried, screamed and yelled;
to no avail- her addition continued
The problem just snowballed
She was clearly headed for a "fall"
She was free falling"
Her Son was ok
She was not
She needed recovery
and after a year-
the kids were taken away
She had to start over again
A recovering addict?
Does one EVER recover?
I Live in constant fear that the phone wsill ring...
Where the hell is my good little girl?
She is not bad
I will ALWAYS love her;
but She's lost
I need to know where she is
