Have You Ever

by

Christina
Have you ever lied awake in bed,
To scared to let the heaviness of your eyes take over
For fear of what you might wake up to?
Have you ever tried to save someone you love
from the effects of crake and popping prescription pills
That is slowly taking away their life
That you have worked so hard to make for them?
Have you ever had to watch someone you love bent over the toilet,
Gasping for air
As they through up the hang over from the night before?
Have you ever watched your mom,
From the corner of the room,
ease her pain as she slides a need out from her arm
And slowly drifts into a world of helplessness?
Have you ever cried yourself to sleep
As the pain burns your body
From the bruises your sister gave you
When your mom was out on the street corner
Selling herself for her next fix?
Have you ever had to endure the pain
That I have had every day of my life?
