Poetry: Drug addiction

ADDICTION

Addiction runs deep in my veins
Into my soul and out again
Tormenting my emotions
Raping my conscience
Destroying all that I am
And all I could be.

Admittance is the first step
If I want a way out
But I'm hooked on the feeling
Of hopeless doubt.
Something to call my own
Something to hold on to
Knowing 'It' will remain
To love me through my pain.

Addiction is an addiction
I can never overcome it
But only learn to cope
And better how to run from it.

Run from the fear -
Run from the loneliness -
Run from the hate -
Run from the pain -
Run from the very addiction
Running through my veins!

    There's No Turning Back

    There was no turning back, I closed my eyes and let it take me

    Now you'll want, but you won't need.
    Now the fight begins.
