IN THE SKY
I saw her crying in the distance,
she glanced as I passed her by.
Didn't know why she was crying,
I didn't stop to ask her why.
She was walking to the spot,
she was looking to get high.
Trying to forget about the good,
that somehow has gone awry.
So much pain thats hidden away,
behind those haunting eyes.
Nothing matters anymore,and
she knows the end is nigh.
She longs to leave this place,
she wants to be able to fly.
Needle in arm as she takes a deep
breath,then lets out a slight sigh.
Troubles are all gone now,she's
lost somewhere in the sky.

drugs, the vicious circle of lost people....
I too have seen the collateral damage caused by drugs and it aint pretty....especially when beneath that desperate shell, lies quite a descent person...I like the ironic ending, troubles are all gone, she's lost somewhere in the sky,.....such a short time before all the troubles return eh!......peace
so true!!
I live in the bronx and drugs are everywhere,I see it on a daily basis,its sad!! and yes it is ironic,you totally got the ending lol...thanks for reading sis!!

Just, Sad
What strikes me most is the sadness about this one. The walking on by...
really?
honestly I don't know how you meant that comment,but it comes off to me,a bit condescending!im assuming you mean you find it sad I didn't stop.I live in new city,I come outside my building and I have to say excuse me to 2 to 3 crackheads,not to mention a couple of winos.the winos are pretty kool though lol.!!but if I were to stop for every lost soul I happen to come across,I'd never get to where I were to be going! now excuse my blutness,but that's me!if you didn't mean it that way,then im sorry lol..either way, thanks for reading,enjoy your evening.

Opinion
Thought i'd be free to leave my opinion here and would have liked to discuss it more. Guess not!!
Yeah, enjoy your evening and all that rubbish.
well birdman
like I said before,im really a blunt person,I don't have hair on my tounge so to speak.what I'd normally tell you would probably be to go fuck yourself and your comments.I mean obviously you are free to leave a comment,and I left one as well,I thought that was how one would discuss things!! I guess you took offense at what I had to say...I really didn't mean anything by it,but if you want to remove your comments from this or any other poem you left a comment on.please,by all means,you do what you feel you gotta do ok...good day to you sir.
