Addiction

Addiction is suicide slowed down by fear Dying to change desperate to disappear Despair is a constant faithful friend I can't pull the trigger but I want this to end Can't deny the bottle even if I wanted to Time after time I lie to me as well as you I wish I was different I can't stand me Often I think of who I'd hoped to be Nothing but death will set me free

Gosh, a powerful description of addiction,Crista. Did you possibly mean to write 'lie' not like in line 6?
