this is not a peronal experience, it's for a school news paper

we had so much fun; it was only once, maybe
inocent fun, no one got hurt, we thought
we thought wrong
a little pill
a little pill meant for a little fun
well it's no fun sitting in an emergancy room
waiting, wishing, praying, hoping
that maybe just maybe that you'd be ok
well the fun has ened and all thats left is memories
memories of our little inocent fun
i had to tell your parents why you might not make it
then i had to tell mine
they all blamed my, why did we do it?
why did i let you?
why, why is a good question, the only answer i have is ...
it was just a little fun, from just a little pill

Nice, spally. Though you give a warning that this came from no experience, but only for a school paper, you persist in showing the few positive Epicurean aspects, and the many negative after-effects.
Your line-breaks (caesuras) all seem in the perfect places, giving the poem an inevitable flow, ideal for the readers' eyes. Again, however, I would recommend more use of punctuation; though the caesuras communicate where one thought ends and another begins on the next line, I think punctuation adds a certain characteristic that allows the reader to take proper breaths, and breaks of thought in the mind, especially if reading aloud.
Nicely done.
