Addiction (This poem is dedicated to those who have struggled and to those who lost the constant battle of addiction...always remember that it takes one day at a time. Sobriety never ends)

Addiction!!!
Loss in the end...prediction
It controls me
When i think it's there to console me....it folds me
Mentally drained
Addiction is trained
Lost behind its meaning
Paralyzed are my thoughts...like I'm dreaming
One wanting to die
One wanting to fly
Marks on my arm show my pain
Whisper's from my dark call my name
I'm drifting away
Addiction chose to stay
My nose bleeds for no reason
This destruction has no season
I take it in as I cringe
I'm on a 3 day binge
I'm dwindling away
Me and addiction rekindled today
I'm popping pills for fun
I'm sitting back waiting for my body to go numb
Addiction
I call it...self infliction
I swear that bottle got my name on it
I'm reading the words pain on it
I've surrendered before
I've emptied my glass wanting more
I'm broken by its disease
I've been to my knees...Lord please
Denial over powers me
It's the devils love that showers me
Addiction!

Inspiring write here Morris ! showing the struggle through pain leaving its mark with the addiction.It's especially sad when it's a father or mother with this disease ,child is left scarred too .the continual battle to leave the addiction is war on its own -not many win that, but those who do become stronger in time . And as in your great piece here - one day at a time is the goal. tina x
