Addiction

Addiction
 
It’s in your life ..it’s in your home
Nothing makes you feel more alone
Addiction
It consumes life
And is willing to stab anyone who gets in its way with a knife
Addiction
It changes people right in front of your eyes
It doesn't matter how many tears you cry
Addiction
It doesn’t care about you
But you’ll lie for it and be untrue
Addiction
You’ll hide it due to shame
But take some more to stop the guilt and pain
Addiction
It can kill
take it at your own free will
Addiction
It controls your brain
It leaves your loved ones feeling insane
Addiction
The high of life
It will engulf your family , relationships husbands and wife’s
Addiction
Nothing else will ever be enough
It will leave you with nothing but tough
Addiction
If you play with the devil then your one step too close
It will only take people away who you love the most
Addiction

you explain the effects of addiction very well, it is something that is so misunderstood by those who are not affected by it... expressed so well..
