Shadows once hidden
Drawing you out
Your heart begins to pound
The Demon invading
Holding you hostage
Enslaved, Ensnared, Bound
No way to escape
The Darkness within
It swallows you whole in a flash
You’re soaring so high
Not a care in the world
Unaware of the imminent crash
Heroin use is rising everyday. Pay attention. Talk to your children. Know what’s going on in their lives. Don’t ever say “not my kid” because there’s no such thing. Be involved….be a parent.
Sadly, my son and daughter have both lost classmates to this horrible drug. To watch 20 something’s lay a friend to rest is a nightmare. We can stop it….but only if we care.
