Addiction
Like a Shadow
Body craves what I can’t explain
Unfilled without I can’t sustain
Feeling weight upon my chest
Festering mind filled of unrest
No longer wanting to live that way
Trying to make my mind stay stray
Things that make the pain go away
Myself to never again betray
Everlasting numbness fades
Mind & body screaming for aide
Finally grasping the damage done
The days are gone of it being just fun
Filling my time with mundane hobbies
Trying new things is what this life embodies
Hoping this idea provides some traction
Making some movement creating some action
Change in mindset makes me brave
Seeking better until my grave
Shinning bright with all my might
Not giving up without a fight
