The Journal of A Recovered Addict: V1
August 5, 2021
My sixth grade teacher showed the class photos of teenagers
Comatose from drugs
Overdosed
With death at their doorsteps
And she didn't understand
Why I started crying so loudly
If only she knew
I just couldn't quit
I thought I was next
Maybe then
She wouldn't have yelled
At that already-fragile 12-year-old
Who didn't know what to do
