Forget

Published by Family Friend Poems April 2010 with permission of the Author.

Forget how to care.
Forget how to trust.
Forget how to love.
For my sanity, I must.

Been burned by the promises
and many a lie.
I've sat back and watched
as my feelings all die.

I vowed I would love,
honor and cherish him always.
But he treats us like we are
invisible... daily.

How can anyone like that
deserve love from me.
My children and I
deserve to be free.

Free from the arguing,
the names and the drinking.
Free from the insults
for even just thinking.

For now I will live
as the "unaffected me."
If only to salvage
my diminishing sanity.

I've been struggling with being an addict since I was 11 years but once I turned 18 everything changed. I was raped and after that I just felt like giving up. So I turned to heroin everyday, all day. 2-3 grams at least 3 times a day. It got so bad that my family disowned me. I got sick, put in coma on life support for 3 months, I was on my deathbed, but it wasn't my time. God had plans for me. Now I'm living my life day by day. The doctors amputated my toes and now I have to have my valves replaced and a pacemaker put it.. My health is failing. I'm out here alone. I struggle everyday with my health and missing my family. I blame myself for being such a total failure to everyone, mainly my parents, sister, and niece and nephews and my foster parents. Being an addict is very difficult and it's a struggle but god let me live for a reason.
