Let's Get High After School

It's fun.
It's relaxing.
You tried to rope me in.
I can't do it.
I can't give in.
I can see what you've done to your life.
You make me sad.
You can't pay attention as well as you used to.
You haven't been doing so well in school.
Your relationship with your parents has all but disappeared.
You have trouble sleeping at night.
You're slowly losing everything that you had.
I can't do anything to change your mind.
I tried to help you.
I told your parents.
Now you hate me.
Maybe someday you'll understand that it was for the best. You cut off all contact and tried to make it appear like I was to blame. Like I was the one who roped you into this mess. You can live with this false reality. I just hope that you're staying away from the drug.
It's hard, I know, but when you're old and you have a brain that still functions, maybe you might remember me.
Maybe you might thank me. It's your life, you can do what you want. You can skip the rehab classes, and you can go back to your lifestyle. Why would you want to?
There was a man who lived down the street from my church, and he came to visit once. He was a heavy drug user, but he's clean now. He's still living with his parents. He can't talk properly. When he talks his eyes roll around in his head. He can't control it. He told us to not make the same mistakes that he did. He told us to be smart.
Do you really want to turn out like him?

Powerful words. I really enjoyed reading this, even though it was heart felt. I myself have chosen to stay away from drugs, but I have friends who have chosen different. They dont care now, but they will when they are in the hospital and I am begging them not to leave me.

That is sad and i have been in this situation only my friends parents didn't believe me. Well they asked her about it and she lied, but later the truth came out and we are still friends.
