Triggered Mania

A triggered intention to delay the sobriety. This has become her daily intention. Suicidal note helps her cope. Manic depression and a drug seeking obsession filled with no hope. The new malicious promoter is now present. No money in her pocket, not even a red cent. Prison bound and a soul that can never be found. A self-indulged murder ride put one foot in the grave. There is no room to be brave. There dope becomes her enforcer. A family full of spite and anger. Rage has become their enabler. Added pressure makes life and reality beyond grasp. Getting sober and reaching divine origin seen in her mother becomes the new lethal gene. After seeing strength and looking fear in the eye. There is no more reason to let go and die. Too many times sitting there wanting to cry. Too much corruption fills a drug fueled life. She seems to never be complete, unless she is 6 feet deep. Never will reality make her into a giving type wife. A sic made mind was constantly left to fend. No, this cannot be the end. As she stares into the eyes of the beholder of her defeat. This daily poisonous treat is no longer there to profit. Caught in a constant ring of fire. If she did not get clean time would have been ready to expire. It is a readiness that takes over, then gives chance to retire. A deal was made and the addiction is no longer obeyed.

Very, very moving and drama filled. The addiction is often treated with the root cause left to fester unchecked. Not possible for success to visit. How sad. Kind regards, Ian
