I am just an addict, it's perfectly clear.
It's worse then a habit, it's a problem severe.
It's my choice and it's tragic, just sincere, when I tell you that addiction is something to fear. So I'm just an addict, it's a choice that I've made. Now I'm a slave to my habit, shackled and chained. And I can't break free, it's so hard to explain, but it helps to not feel all the hurt and pain.
Yes the hurt and pain that I carry inside, but it's the hate and distain that I can no longer hide.
I have my addiction, so it's time to decide.
So I break free from these chains? Or just lay down and die?
Do I give in and quit, just live life addicted?
Or do I clean up my act and feel the pain that's inflicted?
All the hurt and pain, the quilt and remorse. I guess it's true what they say, when it rains it pours. So it's raining on me, I'm trapped in the storm.
This life that I live, is so far from the norm. The people you meet and the places it takes you.
If one things guaranteed, it's if you let it, it breaks you. Yes it breaks ypu down never building you up. So if your there right now, then please don't give up.
Even though it seems impossible and your hands are cuffed. Just know that anything is possible, when you've had enough.
So listen to me, hear the sound of my voice, as I tell you about addiction and the drug of my choice.
Let me tell where I've been, and how much it costs, let me tell you what I've spent, and how much I've lost.
Let me tell you about the friends that I don't have anymore. Let me tell you about burden, hurt,guilt, and remorse.
Let me tell you that it's not worth it. I just hope that you listen,
Stay away from all the drugs, and
.

WELCOME ANNIE ~ Thanks for your first poem which is very sad and very confessional. I am not an addict (only to love and life) but i have Friends (i'm 33) who are dead and dying due to draugs. I am sure you found your poem cathartic ~ it is elegantly penned ! You will find MPS a very empathetic and supportive site. Thinking of you and praying for you ~ BRIAN
Great write, nothing is hopeless. There is always hope
Welcome to MPS! Nice first poem. You are very very brave. I hope you are well. (you mentioned overcoming addiction in your notes) Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful. I can relate
Your welcome. And thank you for your comment. It's been a rough rode that I've traveled down the past couple of years, and it takes time. What doesn't kill us, only makes us stronger.❤
