Without Addiction

Velvet.Riot

The most beautiful souls

are almost always damaged

they could live a normal life

but they spend every Friday

in the pub getting hammered

 

Proudly proclaiming

"The content could never be like us"

But silently thinking

I could be one too

If I didn't feel so much

 

I prescribe myself like a doctor

 think i'm clever

i'll be taking powder n pills

whatever the weather

 

I can control my emotions forever

but when it runs out

I have no doubt

I'll feel worse than ever

 

I'm still a beautiful soul

no matter my state

i'm just having fun

or so she says

 

I'm still a beautiful soul

whether here or gone

I'll still be a beautiful soul

when I'm my next human

 

And when i have moved on

please take the curse of addiction

allow me to be a beautiful soul

without affliction.

 

Allow me to be a beautiful soul

without addiction.

Allow me to be a beautiful soul

without affliction.

    A great poem of a view on addiction and how a person is a person aside from their addiction. Well said
