Elizabeth's Heroin Fight

Tonight I will cry for the final time.

Tears begin to slowly expel from my heavy eyes.

I will eventually cry no longer.

I am surrounded by memories of my family.

My heart begins to break.

Many regretful years I have spent using heroin intravenously.

You became my closest ever friend.

You comforted me through my pain and despair.

I have tried my hardest to leave you behind.

Only to find you right by my side again.

I gaze down below and see what I have become.

My limbs are so swollen, they are heavy and pained.

My veins are collapsed, you have flowed through me endless times.

My reflection in the mirror I can no longer recognize.

I have been hospitalized and on life support.

Only to hear you call my name, and I survive.

It's time to leave you behind now.

You have finally lost your hold over me.

You have no choice, you have to let me

go.

I have fought against you for what seems to be eternity.

My breathing finally begins to slow.

I find myself sat silently on a balcony in a magnificent auditorium.

I see before me a huge screen.

I observe my birth, my childhood, my whole entire life unveils, right before my eyes.

The heavy scarlet curtains slowly begin to close.

I feel a warm, gentle hand, wipe away my final tears.

I am consumed by a glowing and beautiful light.

I feel finally at peace.

Loving arms take me into an embrace.

I am now forever safe in my mother's womb, wrapped gently in cotton wool.

God has finally taken me.
