Alcohol,
Drugs,
Alcohol,
Drugs.
On and on they kept showing up in my life,
I thought my addiction would not last,
I thought it would be only a phase.
I was wrong.
Monday, the first day of school,
The first party of the year.
Of course, I went.
I wanted to be like the other kids,
Go to parties, drink and have fun.
An hour passed by
Singing and dancing.
Then
A blackout...
No light,
No feelings.
I woke up,
My heart pounding fast.
I felt weak, I felt scared.
Tuesday, second day of class.
Everyone was talking about me,
I was cool,
I was who I have always wanted to be.
I felt frustrated because I didn’t remember what I did.
But I did something,
I had to have done something.
