why I support medical marijana

I take the medications the doctors give me
yet my mind still lingers on horrors I have faced
I am not a drug addict, alcoholic or substance abuser
I am simply seeking relief from the grief
inflicted throughout my younger years
screamed in dreams and lost in tears
fought the demons for so many years

molested beaten rejected treated
like an object by my own mother
the one person that should have loved me
unconditionally

fondled as a toddler
given beer in my baby bottle
left in my crib alone and afraid
the life I was given not a choice I made

I've done my best
to survive the test
of losing my own soul
I will not lose control

I do not want to die of grief
I found one thing that offers relief
a medicinal plant made by God
this sacred herb against the law

Helps me to forget
eases my pained heart
shut up that part
off my memories
the catastrophe
of birth
