In the stillness of the night, a whisper calls,
A dance with shadows, where hope often falls.
The needle’s embrace, a fleeting escape,
Wrapped in a haze, a life starts to reshape.

Dreams once vibrant now fade to gray,
In the grip of substances, they silently sway.
Broken promises and shattered trust,
In the search for solace, a soul turns to dust.

Families weep, friendships fray,
In the wake of addiction, love drifts away.
Eyes that once sparkled with joy and glee,
Now clouded with sorrow, longing to be free.

Yet within the darkness, a flicker remains,
A glimmer of hope amidst all the pains.
Reach out, seek help, let the healing begin,
For in every struggle, there’s a chance to win.
