This Thing Inside Him

This thing inside him, would just not let go would creep up and wake him, but no one would know. 'just one more' he would say in his head, but that 'just one more' could make him be dead, This thing inside him, hurts like hell, leave this man be, he needs to be well. To judge and to punish, to sneer and ignore, will only make this thing inside him, make him want more. This thing inside him, caused nothing but hate, need's to be helped quickly, before its too late. the pain and the anger going round in his soul, needs love and support to make this man glow. This thing inside him, got a grip of his heart, took away his choices, kept him living in the dark. the tears, the shakes, the horrors, the shame, everyone wonders, just who is to blame? This thing inside him, I pray will it will leave, this man will beat it, I truly believe. with love in our hearts and and hope in our prayers, this man will live for a 100 years. This thing inside him, will go away, never to return, not even 1 day, not to be powerless and hungry, and life is a mess, and ashamed for your family for causing the stress. A poem for all recovering and suffering addicts, please god give them the courage, strength and support they will need *** MaxineJ ***
