Paying with my Time

NinjaGirl

Craving the satisfaction

It's an addiction they say

Temporary happiness--

Sacrificing the future

is the price you pay

Where is your dignity?

Your long-term goals

go down the drain

As you choose

to give your time

and relieve the pain.

    Addiction to drugs as well as other things is a temporary gratification for a payment in life and all future. Nicely written

  • Doggerel Dave

    Am I to decide precisely what you gave your time to? Or is that the point?

    🥷, this is raw and unflinching. It doesn’t moralize from a distance, it speaks from inside the struggle. That honesty gives it weight. Powerful write, my dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

    Lots of stuff goes down the drain. Its a good metaphore. This poem was really well written Ninjagirl. Keep up the good work.
