ADDICTED



An addict that patiently awaits for their dealer, an addict that awaits his prostitute just so he can feel her.

An addiction to sex, money, and even drugs, to strong to let go despite disease or the drug bugs.

An euphoric rush of adrenaline stuck in the devils world and obeying to sin.

Estranged from those that were closest to your heart the addict or the addiction responsible for tearing you apart.

Your life once so different so normal it made sense, now all you've become is someone who's alone dumb and dence.

Now you have either blown through all you have or you just can't have enough, a struggle you can't fight because it's gotten to damn tough.

Not worried about protection, so long as there's affection.

And never once was a thief never once one that lies, and now the addict to addicted to break off the ties.

All alone with your habit and stuck in your own head, as you cry cause your judged for being misled.

Into a life style that somehow you chose, but who is anyone to judge when no one really knows.

About this poem

I wrote this poem because there are many people in the world that struggle with addiction from, money, sex, drugs, work and even food. Half the time they never get help or they scream out and still nobody hears, and the addiction in the end wins most times.
