Why is life so hard?

Why is there so much sadness and depression?

Some turn to alcohol for a cure.

Some turn to drugs for a cure.

These are not the answer.

These will not fix anything.

Addiction causes more sadness and depression.

Addicts need help.

They need someone who cares.

They need someone who loves them.

They need a safe place they can heal.

My community offers no such place.

There is nowhere to go to recover.

There is nowhere to go to heal.

This needs to change.

I want to cause this change.

I want to create programs for addicts;

For alcohol, for drugs, for other addictions.

I want to create safe havens to better my community.
