Addiction is that one thing
You can't get rid of

It's the annoying thoughts
That tell you, you need to do it

Wishing you could find a
Healthier way of coping
But not being strong enough
To pull away from it

It's the thing that can rip
Families or other relationships
Apart

It controls your life
It can start off as an impulse
Decision or could be something
You planned to do

From the line of silver to the red
Streams

From the once a day drink to
Drowning

From one shot for a rush to
Feeling the need to do It to survive

Most people don't understand how someone could ruin their lives for drugs. They are the lucky ones who have never thought about taking drugs to forget or hurting themselves for a temporary relief. It's sadly something we chose to start but not something we intended to get addicted to. It was for that relief, when we got it, it was hard to let go of.
