Love Poem: Addicted

Addicted

To get an all time high
To feel good and free with every opportunity
Yearning enough just to get by
Ignoring the thought of me abandoning my family

I had it all, everything
But I threw it all away
By allowing someone to persuade me
Starting off every once in a while to craving it everyday

I started to take from my family
Next were my friends
They noticed things were missing
But of all people, they didn't suspected me

Months went by
And everyone began noticing the signs
I didn't have any explanation for my actions
Except I did it all for my satisfaction

Things began to go bad between my family and I
They no longer wanted me around
Because they were tired of me and my lies
And tired of seeing me tearing myself down

That's when I began to open up my eyes
I sat by myself, began to think, and realized
I didn't need these drugs in my life
Cause all I was doing is threatening to end my own life

That point was my wake up call
It was either that or lose all
This is the time when I have to do what's best for me
Not only for me but also my family
