My friends influence me,
That all I need to succeed is to take a puff of this weed.
Rays of embarrassment reveal images of my face 'cuz I know better.
Once upon a time
I promised myself
I wouldn't sway any way the wind blows.
I have dreams of being a model,
Actress,
A novelist;
You may laugh and say my dreams are unrealistic.
But I refuse
I refuse
I refuse to be another
Drug abuser
Teen statistic.

*No shade, ps. I just love this poem.
