Addicted

Contributed by Lore on Thursday, 30th October 2008 @ 05:08:43 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



One time,
that's all it took.
Such a crime!
But now i'm hooked...
I HAVE to have it,
I NEED it now.
It makes me feel sick,
yet I do it somehow.
I did it for the problems,
I did it for myself,
I did it because...
I just wanted to feel like everyone else.
i'm falling into an abyss...
so dark, so cold
I give my farewell kiss,
Knowing my soul is sold.
I can't stop,
even though i'm trying...
I feel over the top...
even when I know i'm dying.
And all this for what?
for a minute's pleasure?
my body's used up...
& I feel pain without measure
I did it for the problems,
I did it for myself,
I did it because...
I just wanted to be like everyone else

I like this...
It has a quality that you can attach to almost anything, food, drink, love et al.....
We are truly creatures of compulsion...be it delight or darkness and you have painted that well...
Great Poem....

Addictions are not an easy thing to combat. I applaud you for giving us this to look at. Not many people take the time to look at it.
Thank you
Love Smiles Blessings

Thank you all for all your feedback, I really appreciate all of your comments. This was the first poem I ever wrote & at a rather precocious age too. I hope you all enjoy it.
Many thanks & blessings,
Lore
