You was there when I took my first breath

Now it's pains me that I missed your last

You spent your life making a future for me

Now I waste it longing for the past

The piles of photographs are no comfort

Just reminders you're gone framed in glass

That take the place of where the clock once was

Now I know that time doesn't last

My response is to create this exhibition where I tell the stories of those who are in or around addiction, to try and understand how we all cope. The subject of addiction needs to be supported, talked about and helped. It feels shameful, and the addicts we love are considered morally bad.
