Shattered Images - A Poem To Brian Leddy

Contributed by burntright on Thursday, 20th May 2004 @ 10:54:09 AM in AEST
Topic: drugabuse



Have you found what your looking for? Perhaps your convinced you need to look some more.

Can you remember what it is your trying to find? Or is it lost in the smoke that's feeding your mind.

Is this where you really want to be? I don't think so, that's not what you told me.

Are you healthy, happy and well? Or do you feel you've fallen and gone to hell.

Are the answers in that poison you buy? You know as well as I do thats a big lie.

How did you get to where you are now? Do you want to change it or are you lost and don't know how?

Are you sick and tired of this daily grind yet? Or are you comfortable and quite content?

Pay attention to the signs. The shadows are telling you something - its not in your mind.

Have you seen the changes your body makes? How many times do your eyes need to shake?

Seeing how close to God you can get. Life isn't a game for you to bet.

What do you think about when you are spun? Do you remember when you use to have fun?

How do you feel when you are tweaked? Have you considered your alone, angry and freaked.

When is the last time you enjoyed the stars? Have you traded that beauty for the sight of sleazy bars.

Are you strong just because you can survive? It doesn't mean a thing - you can be weak and still alive!

You haven't turned your back on family and friends. But don't get confused thinking thats them in the crack dens.

Are you aware that you are loved? Or do you prefer to keep getting shoved?

Are you ready to win instead of lose? Beat down those drugs, demons and booze.

Drop them before they drop you. Or else they may turn your brain into goo.

The intelligent man that you are, I know you won't let it get that far.

Living in this toxic haze - will only bring you darker days.

Think about what I have said. If I hadn't listened I would have been dead.

Someone helped me and I hope we can help you. But the first step is for you to do.

Lift your chin up tall and high. Remember who you really are, who loves you and why.

Pick up the shattered images that remain. Put them back together and look at yourself whole again.

But even if you prefer the bright nights and dark days,

Remember your friends are only a phone call away.

They are your friends no matter what. Our doors are open and never shut.
