Walking Down To Death

Walking Down To Death is a daily sorrowful walk into the darkness of life. Where you loose all control. The sidewalks seem to come alive to eat at your exterior as you hunt for your drug of choice. This chase leaves you feeling worn and riddled with the demise of your self-worth and self- respect coming to a regretful end. As a result of this never ending chase eating the bottom of your foot wear. Loved ones then start succumbing to the appearance of self-dis figuration in their beautiful outward God given frame. Walking down to death is a dark one that takes more and more from your spirit while inflicting aches and pains for the desired appetizer of the addiction. What started off from innocence ended up becoming a down payment for your very soul. Disguised in curiosity, trying to fit in with your friends, with the false belief that getting high was all in having fun. Will-power has packed up and left you without saying goodbye. It feels betrayed by your choices that led to demolish it's very existence and it's position to strengthen you. No more of a party favor's for you as addiction strips you right down to the very core. Your body aches for more and more and addiction continues to demand for more and more until it can't take from you anymore. It's to addiction you loose your life and will be pronounced dead to your family and friends. Your Walk Down to Death is now marked by the enemy as complete. A precious life lost and gone forever to a tragic end.

Good afternoon Dr. Mehta, It appears that you are bringing me good news. What did I win? I have not received any status about winning. Therefore you my fine gentleman appear to be holding the prize for me. Thank you so very much. I must look into this. I did enter this writing in a contest. Thanks again.
