Addict...
it's a second by second struggle that i'm fighting with all my might
i pray to my higher power to help me stay sober today
in that one moment i would get weak and my life as i know it wil end
it's not prison that scares me it's how i'd live with myself
the temptation kills me the urges paralize me the cravings consume me
it's so hard to be strong when you're weak
when everyone's looking at you through broken rose colored glasses
so many expectations they hang over me at times i just wanna break free
no one understands me i feel so alone fighting the devil in my own home
i get no credit for anything i do at times that's all i need to help me through
this life is all new to me in everyway it's like learning to walk without crawling
i'm forced to face the world as i know it afraid and vulnerable not wanting to quit
i dream of getting high and their so vivid and so real
i wake up not knowing how to feel
a warrior i am so i know i can stay strong but this addiction is in me til i'm dead and gone
please give me a chance to live my life i may not always be right but i'm in it for the fight
