Addiction

Poetic Dan

Last night I decided to take the test
I'm trying to be brave with little steps

For months I've been keeping check
Looking for answers of what's next

Many of people say plenty of things
None come close to my understanding

I was fourteen when it help me through
Opening my mind to let go of the concern

From that moment this outlet has been held against me
Not any valid reason just repeating teachings

I have a incredible addictive personality
To the point I struggle turning off the TV

Some can use this as evidence against me
But if you reflect I'm sure you're not addiction free

Today is my leap of going cold turkey
I've finished work and thinking healing

Greatful to the path that got me here
But I need some relief of my inner fear

                Brutally honest! Very courageous of you! You can achieve what you’ve set out to do because it’s worth the fight! There are two beautiful children waiting for you!

                  Thank you, I'm going to get a grip on this. It's not that I want to stop, just would like to be able to not be so reliant on it.

                  Always appreciate your support and kind words.

                  This kind of honesty takes immense bravery and I'm sure I'm speaking for everyone when I say this, but you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.

                  • Poetic Dan

                    Thanks for the empowering message my friend
