[hometext] => I wanted to share this poem with everyone because it helped me to face my additction. It means so much to me that you have taken the time to read this poem because it has really touched me and I hope it does the same for you.
[bodytext] => I’ve known you for over 12 years now, yet it seems like only yesterday That you first caught my attention when I saw you looking my way At first we would only see each other for a weekend fling I didn’t even notice how quickly you had become an everyday thing I remember at first I used to think that we were right from the start It took me years to realize how you were tearing my life apart Although I cannot lie nobody has been a friend like you You were always there to comfort me whenever I felt blue I remember as a child I thought anyone who knew was dumb Until I grew older and fell in love with you for your ability to make me feel numb I can remember each time I fell apart and felt I couldn't go on anymore You were there promising that you would always be there because that’s what friends are for I turned to you for help because you seemed to make life easier for me Of course I was the only one who could see that, everyone else didn’t agree Instead they disapproved of you right from the start And each time I stood up to defend you because you had become I part of my heart Even though I knew they were right about you being the reason I lost all I once had I felt I had to make excuses just so you wouldn’t look bad I didn’t want to hear them say that my addiction is all in my head I think yeah tell that to my body when I can’t get out of bed My mood swings can be bad and periodically my body will shake A better description is the after shocks that come after an earthquake My addiction has been something that I have tried so hard to hide I just didn’t want to admit it; I just had too much pride So many times I have given my word that you and I were through Yet to this day I find myself still struggling with you I used to think that ending things would be easy, but now I will be the first to admit That this is by far the hardest thing that I have ever tried to quit Every day I wish that you would go away and never return But as the days go passing by without you the more I begin to yearn For just one hit to bring me back to the old me Oh how do I break this vicious cycle?! Oh how do I break free?! My addiction is so strong! How do I cure this disease?! Release your grip on my life, I am begging you please! You’ve taken so many things that I once possessed inside You took my will, my strength, you even took my pride The day that I made you a part of my life is a day I will always regret! My life would have been so different if you and I had never met! I understand that it is impossible for me to turn the hands of time back So I must find a way to deal with you so that I can get my life on track So I am here to tell you that there is no room in my life for you anymore It is time I see all the other things that God has planned in my life for me to explore But I’m not going to lie it was fun while it lasted But this addiction is over it is time I move past!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
