Addiction

I did it for the thrill
until it became a need
No longer tried to fight it
it was an urge i had to feed.
First just for fun
till it became my life
the desire to want to use
to hide my pain, my strife.
I could handle it at first
then it became out of control
I went from doing half
to jumping to a whole.
I knew i had to stop
but at the time i didn't care
I went from knowing what i was taking
to becoming unaware.
I decided after awhile
to get help i knew i needed
I tried to fight it
but knew i was defeated.
I want my life to change
starting today
want to succeed, just let the pain fade away....
