Friends to Family

Mitch Hagen 1992 (Vancouver)



There for my family
Here for my friends
I smile so happily,
Till the day ends.

Stray from my family,
Where are my friends?
Trust gone so rapidly
Mind starts to bend.

Worried is my family
Careless are my friends
Start to lose sanity
Memories start to blend.

Help from my family
Support from my friends
All come so naturally
It's wisdom to lend.

Mitch Hagen

To put things blunt, I'm currently in active drug addiction. Have been since I was very young. The poems I write reflect my struggle but also my fight. I like to write about my feelings, family, friend's, and of course my addiction. I put a lot of thought into each poem and each and every one was written from deep inside my soul. I hope you enjoy them, if you do or you don't please don't hesitate to leave some feedback. Born in Vancouver BC Canada, raised in Prince George BC Canada, currently living in Edmonton AB Canada. more…
