We see various people today falling prey to drugs. Drugs can attack anyone, anywhere and at any time. Drugs are so sneaky and full of deceit that they make lives miserable in just a glance. The people who once fall into this trap think that there is no way out as they become slaves of this evil master. But it’s never too late to start living once again. :)

I Will Never Give Up on Life reflects the feelings of a boy who is admitted in a rehab. He is both ashamed and repentant but decides to move on and stop clinging to the past.

                                            I Will Never Give Up On Life

I open my eyes and see darkness everywhere.

All I can witness around me now is ruefulness.

Engulfed by grief I hate to see myself like this.

Every breath that I take reminds me,

Of the life I have wasted.

I take a few steps and walk towards the mirror,

My own reflection refuses to recognize me.

I can’t recollect the last time I heard my own laughter.

In the rehab all I hear are the macabre voices of my screams in agony.

I look at the lines of my palms and realize that I have marred my own destiny.

I used to live my life with great exultation.

I miss playing soccer with brother every time I hear the raindrops.

I miss Mama’s homemade pancakes and eating them with Dad.

I miss my high school chums and playing guitar with them.

I suppose all that mattered for me was to get high.

Life seems so obscured now.

I promised myself every day,

That this would be my last shot.

But the end seemed nowhere.

And I succumbed to the master of misery and shame.

But a hope still lingers in my heart.

That one day I’ll be the same jovial lad

With eyes gleaming blithely, filled with ambitions.

I have chosen to embark on a new journey

And I will never give up on life.
