If you've read my poem titled "I care" This is the response from my friend.
We are all lost in a sense of misdirection
The choices we make determine our reflection
Can you tell me right now that when you look in the mirror
You smile to yourself because your glad that your here?
And I know you are worried but so am I
But these drugs that you fear aren't making me cry
and it's true that the laughter is false and self inflicted at times
But the memories I replay again and again in my mind
I ask myself daily why I love to rebel
And I'm guessing it's my escape
something you know far too well
and looking back through the years-I laugh to myself
Because we are all just victims to behavioral bad health
I look at my weekend and I wish I wasn't there
At that party, too drunk, holding my best friends hair
Puking over the porch until the sun comes out
But you don't know what I've experienced
So you wouldn't know what that's about
You hurt yourself too in a million different ways
So when I tell you it scares me you tell me the same
What happened to that girl on first base long ago?
She scored a few runs and then she went home
And everything since then hasn't really changed
I've took time to fix what needed to be rearranged
All the times we've discussed why you were so sad
I understand now-like I'm your rehab
And I've been through that too, but it didn't seem to help
Cause when your broken inside you can't feel it for yourself
That's why I'm writing you back
Recovery takes time
And when it rains just remember
The sun will soon shine
