No End In Sight

Leave me here alone
A junkie’s life is a story often told
Without a happy ending most of the time
Friends and family sit around and cry
While I suffer through a battle
With no end in sight

42 pounds lighter than I should be
Guess that happens when a needle is all you eat
So many scars on my body
When I look in the mirror all I see is a rotting
Figure of a man walking barefoot in a tunnel void of light
Walking through tunnel with no end in sight

I had a birthday a few days or weeks ago
They invited me home, but I didn’t show
Mother always welcomed god in her home
But I lost my soul long ago
Now I sit alone in my room every night
Peering at old pictures with no end in sight

Where does time go
I don’t know, but it’s nothing more than life’s fools gold
I think I want to stop
But a man like me was never saved in detox
A man like me was never saved at all
I have to constantly fight, with no end in sight

Death is never a cherished event
But with a life like mine
And a drug so unkind
I hope it arrives without regret
But it’s gonna be a while before my last rights
Cause with this disease, there’s no end in sight

~LenMcC1,...this is some heavy stuff.  Some very real and raw writing.  Not sure who??? if it's about you, but the point is,,,is that this poem could have come from some friends I have somehow lost...not necessarily death, but just lost THEM in general.  It's pretty heartbreaking to go through it from this end and from the other must be 100 times tough.  Whoever this is for,...may the strength I send out reach them.  This is very good writing....it has effected me to say the least. Oh, and the title is like a fist in the gut. Take care. *Peace.
