A Child Lost to Addiction: A Poem on Pain, Regret, and the Fight for Redemption

 A child once innocent, now lost his way
Seeking escape, a path led astray
Addiction’s grip, to numb the pain
A life unraveled, like untying a chain
 
He yearned for love, a partner, a dad
But demons pursued, fortunes went bad

His world crumbling, like a burnt-out tricycle
 
On his knees now, regrets overflow
“Forgiveness,” he begs, in whispers low
A broken soul, redemption to find
If only he could rewind.

Silhouette of a person sitting alone against a wall with head down, symbolizing addiction, regret, and the struggle to find hope and redemption
