two times you were told if you did not pass a drug test you could not see your daughter
and two times you failed to comply so you asked someone else to do it for you
and two times is too many but how many times will you get high with your daughter in the backseat of your truck knowing this could be the last memory for both of you?

three times they found you lying cold on the bathroom floor
and three times they pumped whatever you pumped in right back out
and three times is too many but how many more times will your grandparents need to administer naloxone to your half lifeless body before you realize the damage you are doing?

ten times you were caught stealing from work
and ten times we carried you to rehab after you finally gave in and told the truth
and ten times is too many but how many more times will you steal from family members just to get for for “one last time, just one last high?”

and one time is too many but how many times will you say to yourself “ive overdosed plenty!” for you to realize you aren’t as invincible as you seem

one time is all it takes
to be the last time
