Dear Drugs, go away.

I am a protector by nature. I want to protect those I love. I have been helpless at times when my loved ones make choices I know will not end well. They are their choices to make. But when I see someone self destructing I can not, no let me phrase this, I WILL not sit back and do nothing. SO this entire entry will be my open letter to the one thing that tries, time and time again, to destroy those I love.

Drugs

I have seen how drugs destroy entire families.
I have seen how drugs can change a person into something unimaginable.
I have seen how drugs can make the most honest people into liars.
I have seen how drugs can destroy the body, mind and soul.
I have seen how drugs can make a beautiful person hate themselves.
I have seen drugs and they are not just recreational.
I have seen drugs and they don't help anyone.


I am prepared to fight for those I love. whatever it takes, whereever I need to go I will go. Please don't try to tell me that a little weed never hurt anyone. it has, in the long run, it has. My family and friends are far to important to just surrender to drugs. I will fight.

Below is a song that I wish anyone who is struggling with this disease can listen to. Absorb the words into your soul and know that you are worth fighting for.

Empathy by A Sound Mind

There’s a glimpse of what lives much deeper in

If you breath enough air into it you will see it floating

As life skips jumps rewind

You can bring change with faith in yourself once again

Don’t let yourself destroy yourself, don’t let yourself destroy self

When you feel like the whole world feels

When you feel like the whole world feels

& your on your own and your all alone

& your on your own and your all alone

Hold you head above the water

Until the water dries

Life or death situation,

You aint good to no-one unless your alive and breathing yourself

Your only an aid to someone if you yourself are fine

So hold your own head above the water

Hold your own head above the water

Above the water, above the water

Don’t let yourself destroy yourself

Don’t let yourself destroy yourself

Don’t let yourself destroy yourself

Don’t let yourself destroy yourself

When you feel like the whole feels

When you feel like the whole world feels

& your on your own and your all alone

& your on your own and your all alone

Hold you head above the water

Above the water

Yeah Until, yeah until,

The water dries

We will self empathise
