Array ( [sid] => 124101 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Addiction [time] => 2006-08-05 01:22:06 [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! [comments] => 2 [counter] => 298 [topic] => 66 [informant] => babylugz [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => drugabuse )
