A mother without her child.
Like a book without words.
Drugs destroying lives.
Separating people.
Families torn apart forever.
A mother behind bars.
Her helpless child.
Not permitted to see her mom.
Crying over and over.
Missing her a lot.
Memories are all a child has.
A habit that can't be broken.
A habit that hurts many people.
Drugs can kill a child inside and out.
Drugs can kill a mother.
Drugs destroy, kill, hurt, separate.
A child without a mother.
Like me without mine.

The author's comments:
I think the inspiration is obvious, but I just hope that upon reading this, people will understand what it's like growing up with that.
It was written in 2009.
