Listen to poem:
Can't Walk Away
Oh, this obsession, and the need
to reach that high once I've begun;
so hard to stop, can't walk away
till this addiction's had its run.
Oh, please, you know I cannot stop,
I tried so many times before.
I get that urge...it conquers me;
not ready yet, so close that door.
You know I must descend inside
my mind to where it's bright and clear;
to see those visions that excite
and rev my thoughts into high gear.
Be patient now, soon I'll be done.
It's working, see...I'm breathing slow.
My soul is feasting on this bliss!
All comes together, see the flow?
Thank heavens now, the need is filled...
I've reached the summit, and I won...
My poem is done!... Now, out the door...
Okay! Let's leave to have some fun!
