#77 Crack Addict
It had been ages since she had pulled in the elusively addictive smoke that got her high so fast
The forbidden feeling that didn't last
People were asking about her
Even had found her on the computer
She had been their innocent classmate, back in the day
Like her, they had points to prove and long lost messages to convey
They made their inquiries
The entire time overstepping their boundaries
And giggling as they kept bringing up things to make her feel
Like her past was going to mess up her future and kill
her chances to maintain friends or a job
See, it was the gossip that they used to rob
her of a normal life, where people weren't dissecting her reputation like a knife
She finally accepted that it wasn't their choice
But her own, to clarify who she was and use her voice
To help others overcome their addiction, the stigma, and the shame
Of having former crackhead as a name

"If you want to know the past, to know what has caused you, look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the past's effect. If you want to know your future, then look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the cause of the future."
--Majjhima Nikaya

"Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgment."
--Ralph Marston
