A very well-written rhyming poem about the dangers of drug use. Once we start using it, it is near impossible to quit without specialized help or stay hooked untI'll death.

I enjoyed reading this poem. While most of the rhymes are conventional I thought that "water" and "daughter" was a good one. The topic is heartbreaking. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great creation for the Rhyming Poem contest. Your rhythm and rhyme are fantastic - I especially liked "water" and "daughter". Very nice job. Good luck in the contest! Cheryl

    Thanks Colin, very much for your kind review. I need to point out though, that this is all my own work, albeit a poem I wrote 10 years ago and have pretty much rewritten it, not just tweaked! Thanks again xoxoxo

Kudos poetess. You've written a saga of the addict that cuts like a knife into the social heart of the matter. Some look down with disdain when in fact this is an illness. So hard to find recovery! So many good souls lost!--Karenina

    Our town librarian's daughter just died a month ago of an overdose of heroin...27 with an eleven year old son. Chasing that high! It's an epidemic!--Karenina

    That is a bloody pity, and even more so that she had an 11 year old son :(

    The granmom is raising him...as his father is also an addict and, in fact is the one who introduced her daughter to drugs... It's heartbreaking!--K

This tells a story about the lady had transformation of activities through her name, though she lost everything in the process, left an identity a numbered tag; well said, well done.

"She Had A Name", is an exceptionally well-written and heart-wrenching piece. It was a privilege to read and review this talented poet's work. To me this is a six, but unfortunately I don't have any left. I look forward to seeing your next post.

I liked your clever references here: "Major Tom" a Bowie song and "Lucy" The Beetles, the trips on drugs are not worth the life long damage they cause, fortunately I never tried them as I may have become a victim of them too, I liked your rhyming, but most of all I enjoyed your sentiment here, love Dolly x

Wow beautiful image that complements your writing. Even the poem is very sad, I really appreciate the clean cut of your sentences and the musicality between the line. The conclusion is a stairway to heaven"And so the metal slab and sheet
cocoons her body, bruised and beat
a life concluded in a bag
Identity: a numbered tag". Thank you for sharing and welcome back, I like your new name:)

    Well, welcome! I hope you're enjoying Fanstory. It's a great Site, even though I've tried others, but always come back. And sometimes I run out of $$ to pay my monthly subscription so that's also why I disappear for a while sometimes lol!
