Addiction
Let me introduce myself,
My name is Addiction.
I make you an addict,
Without your permission.
I take you to heaven,
I bind you to hell.
You can't break away,
You're under my spell.
I wreak havoc on
Your Self-esteem.
You live in a nightmare,
I steal your dreams.
I take your happiness,
Turn it to despair.
I play tricks on you,
You're unaware.
I take your home,
Family and friends.
A repetitive cycle
That never ends.
I take moms and dads,
I take the children.
I collect souls of all kinds,
By the zillions.
Fentanyl, heroin,
Cocaine or meth?
Jails, institutions,
And Mr. Death.
I will take everything,
You hold close and near.
Do not play with me,
The outcome is severe.
In case I forgot to
Mention.
HIGH, my name is
ADDICTION!
