It is difficult to explain to a person your desires,

For the rush of a stimulant,

It eats you up inside and never backs down,

The scars it leaves behind are untraceable,

A mixture of random thoughts that are unbound,

And yet you keep moving forward for that lust that only a candy store can provide,

A harrowing adventure for the whole world to see,

The problem is that others around you will atrophy for more,

And leave you defenseless against the rage inside,

Climb the ladder with me and fall no more,

Only words can be used as weapons for this chaos.
