Speak Up

I have a brother who does meth. At least I think it's meth... Who can keep track anymore. We found burnt spoons, needles, pipes, I don't know where that stuff is now. He started using in high school, apparently he's never been the same since. He's 28 this year. He dropped out of college. He has lied and stole. He touched me when he was high. I never even knew it. He was later disowned from my family, kicked out of the house with nothing but a bicycle and a 500 dollar check. The last thing I said to him was I love you, I looked down when I said it...afraid. My mom said I will never see him again, until he finally manages to kill himself with those horrible substances.

Sometimes I wonder where exactly he is now. But then I realize, I don't even know if he's still alive.
