Addiction
Daring dances , second chances, what did I just do !. Close my eyes as I realize the chance that I just blew . Walked a rope with too much scope and etched all my mistakes upon a theme and daring scheme which much to much at stake.Â
Lost in a moment of pure hope , so blind I could not see , illusion walked beside me on a road to misery . Challenges I set aside and skipped to happiness, not thinking of the dangers that my habit did ingest , Empty in my pocket, closed within my heart , sneaky in my dealings with many who took part .Â
Left now with no options. Standing in a cage , judgement took the choice from me as I choose to not engage . Freedom is my anchor it took me as it’s slave and now the door is locked with no means of escape.Â
 a smile settles with me , for what now can I do , my drug of addiction has been chained with me to. Locked here for ever desolate and disgraced , bleak is my addiction left without a face .

Hi Vaughan love the context of this poem as I feel we all have a little addiction in some form, I thought you captured it well. Well done.
So true , we all have our shames . Thankyou for your comment. Nice to be here also .Â
There are so many people who refuse to see beneath the addiction the road which led to that point, just because someone takes drugs don't have to mean they are a bad person and the ones who turn to criminality people have to understand that addiction is more powerful than love or hatred, addict's walk away from loving family's and every thing else that is good to chase that addiction whatever it may be, that is how powerful the driving force behind it is. But never feel ashamed of a past it is that which makes us stronger and better people, and also shape's our future. Or another way to look at it is the world has been spinning for millions and millions of years, our own life span is so short, to make mistakes is part of our living.
Hi ste. Yes you make a good point. Thankyou . In many experiences that is the truth .. my poem is not meant to offend or leave anyone feel uncomfortable. It is a look from my eyes only and my experience only . Just that as I have only that to work with.Â
Our own experience can sometimes quide others in their journey of life. We are not at all knocking others or judging them only to share our own experience if in turn it may give them the knowledge they need, and we better the person who we are everyday. Never forget where you have come from and where you want to be, and you will be okay. And of course keep up the amazing writing, brilliant well done.
Yes . You are write . Thankyou for taking the time to read .Â
