Disclaimers 'n' crap: Haihai peeps! Although I never say it, this poem was inspired by Higher Ground. I was thinking about putting it up on but I didn't really want to. Though I don't mention anything by name, I don't own anything in this poem. Enjoy.
Everything was fine.
He lived a normal life.
He had school, friends and sports,
To occupy his time.
And then, she came,
And everything changed.
His family broke up,
She hurt him badly in the mind,
And lower and lower he sank.
His life began to fall apart.
Drinking and drugs were the norm.
It was all he had
To keep from thinking
Of her.
No lower can I sink, he thought.
That is, until the day
His father sent him away,
Down the road of recovery,
Hopefully…
