Cocaine Girl

How could she not notice as she smoked
it that she would feel a potent thrill.
And on each successive occasion it
felt like taking a happy pill.
But each time she came down it
would hurt hard to hit the ground.
And as her years passed away she
found that there was a price to pay.
She lost her self respect and
her joy would leave her too.
She lost her family and then there
was the children she never knew.
She lost her youth before it was all through
and along the way her health became a casualty too.
Now you can do whatever you choose with
your life and I know that you will
but don't be like cocaine girl and
give it all away for a thrill.

(tears fall down my cheeks) I pity all the sad souls who waste their bodies away on drugs, I am zero-tolerant and believe it is like quarter suicide! (sad sigh) this is powerfully said, sweet friend, my thoughts are with all the victims, we all love you so much! You have such a beautriful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

a very true message.
I've known first hand too many who give their life up for that. And then the friends... the family sits beside wishing they could help.
But you've gotta make your own choices.
knowing it effects everyone.

Like this.
Always, Alyssa
