Addicted

One time, that's all it takes
to find yourself make one big mistake
it felt good on the first try
a feeling I never felt before
next thing you know you crave for more.
Spending money on that one thing, nothing else
thinking about only yourself
walking up an down on the streets, here an there
don't even look right, and you don't even care.
Are you in pain?
can't you see you've gone insane?
why do you think your ugly?
knowing you always had natural beauty.
Addiction is like poison eating away in you inside
not seeing the path you have chosen
you would bring friends first, and put your love ones aside
addicted with pride
addicted of being selfish
forgotten what you have cherished
your addicted of depression
an addiction is obsession
and you still don't care.
