Put down the bottle
Stand up and look at me
Set down the glass
     Calm down, I didn't say anything
Go to the rave
Take your mom to a bar
Put down the keys
Want a tree wrapped around your car?
     But it's not hot in here
No pot
No h
No ecstasy
     Can't you remember?
No blow
No speed
No LSD
     You promised me
No booze
No huffing
No ruffies
     I can't understand you
Rehab? I have the number
You get high with you mom?
I'll get your dad's number
Call him, drop the bomb
     But there's no one over there
Put down the bottle
Look me in the eye
Are you gonna stop,
Or would you rather die?
    
Okay just a note, I have no problem with drugs, alcohol or anything of the like.  Just came up with this when thinking about a friend of mine.  I don't think he's into quite as many drugs as I've listed, but I just wanted to cover all ground.  I'm always grateful for advice, but he doesn't listen to reason.

Well done Isabel. SAY NO TO DRUGS. You really put out a good message here because addictions are horrible.....you may like a drug but if you do it too much you are lost and in the gutter. People can learn from this.
Well done.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

hey...i really liked this poem.  kind of sad how some kids are brainwashed to think that drugs are cool, but oh well.  people in my family have gone thru this, but i have learned to stay out of it.  i know that seems cruel, but sometimes i think the person needs to deal with it on their own.  anywayz...this was a really great poem.  thanks 4 the read :-) later

Powerful piece. It's often sad when we see someone we know deteriorate due to drugs. You've expressed yourself well and what can I say? You always write well and this piece is no exception.

"Kelly's my Hero!" "No, Kelly's your heroine." "Kelly has heroin??" "What?"
