Free Verse - The Night That I Died

I was his little girl
I hated the world
He loved me
He cared
But I was so scared
Without a mother
An abusive brother
A sister with no friends, no life, and no hope
No one around to help me to cope
I thought that would end
When I found a friend
That boy was no good
He sold drugs to the neighborhood
The lifestyle consumed me
Created a monster in agony
Got addicted to the one thing no one would touch
I almost died while I was hidden away
My skin went so cold
Like a midwinter day
I went numb to the world
Could not feel a thing
Couldn't feel myself puking
Or letting out waste
I was so close to death
Close enough to taste
Then in one single instant
The world around me went black
I figured I'd died
And I'd never come back
I woke up in the morning
Confused and in pain
I looked out the window
Saw the beautiful rain
From that moment on
I was determined to live
I knew I would quit
There was nothing I wouldn't give
So I tried and I tried
Did all that I could
I'd never go back to the night that I died
