I AM A PIECE.....by Brianna B

I’m starting to become a

piece of my pipe, when I

light the tip and I start to

hit, I become the brownness

and the white, the fire hits

the smoke comes out how

did I get here and how do

I get out, never did I think

I would be the person I am

today left with all this hurt

and pain.

THE CAVE OF ADDICTIONBy Alexander Muller

I was once continuing in an iniquitous caveTraveling profusely in the wrong directionDown in a hole I heard a screamBut only to see water with my reflectionIt pointed a waywhere the end had glowedBut my appetence for leavingHadn’t yet showedI stumbled upon a manWho was leaving the caveScreaming “don’t go that wayGive your curiosity a wave”I didn’t listenAnd I kept on going

Until it got to the end I couldn’t see any light glowingI was losing my mindPraying for helpWhen there was a tug on my handAnd a voice saying “ill get you out”As we left the caveAnd I could finally seeIt was the man who was leavingWho came back to help meWe were out of the caveI thanked him and asked“Where to now”he looked at me and laughed“You can go on andProgress your own lifeI’m staying here

If you’re now alright”I asked him why he would stayIn this placed called hellHe said “I found my purposeI can tell,It’s something I feel,Something ill showHelping others get outIs now all I know”I said i was grateful for all he had doneAnd chose to help with the battle until it’s wonWe racked up the numbers of people we savedUntil Paying it forward is all they cravedIt’s the cave of addiction that brings us downWhenever you’re ready to leave, we’ll be around
