Addiction

The lies that the drug makes you feel
The crazy enviorment that brings an appeal
The sleepless nights the horrible shakes
All the promises you made
That you new you would break
Alone and anxious for the next fix or 
A drink....
Only to knock you down a quick inch
A lonely road I'm sure I'll take....
An endless ride a huge mistake.

Most people don't choose to become addicts. They use they're way in and then, even if they want to, they can't get out without help. Been there, done that and thanks to the Spirit of the Universe I don't live that way anymore ... congratulations Amanda on your writing finding a place in Michael's contest.

Drugs are addicting, and the destroyer of dreams. Nice poem...Raul
