Analysis of Before I was an addict

Jesse D. Black 1985 (Ohio)



Before i was an addict,  I had alot of dreams! I used to want alot of things!
Before i was an addict, my life seemed so happy! Even on the worst days that others would say were sappy!
Before i was an addict, i wanted the best of everything! Because i thought that is what my life should mean!
Before i was an addict, my smile wasnt fake! Becsuse i knew nothing about the pain!
Before i was an addict, bou those were the days! Back when life didnt always seem so sad!
Before i was an addict, when i looked in the mirror i didnt hate the one i seen! Because i knew that i was clean!
Before i was an addict, life was so much simpler! Because i had only one to live!
Before i was an addict, is such a thing to say! Because before I was an addict, has left me were i am
An Addict!
