Addiction Poem about Family

Effects Of Cocaine Use

I wrote this poem to describe the powerful effects of cocaine use, and to remind others that each moment under its influence is wasted life...and that recovery is entirely a new start. Get better before you blame others...

No Excuse...It's The Cocaine

Published by Family Friend Poems November 2007 with permission of the Author.

Gone are the years when you were addicted
Pain still remains of all those inflicted
Sad are the memories of when you were high
Hurt are the ones who helped you get by
No more is the man that no one could fix
Ashamed are all those who fell for your tricks
Black is your past with one way to explain
Lost was your life from the use of cocaine
Strong are the roots of the place you come from
Fierce are the habits that you must overcome
Now is the time you get better and give
Ahead is your life; without drugs you must live
