Addiction

Doesn't everyone at some point deal with addiction? While for some symptoms are mild, others are like pulp fiction. It's deemed a disease and this I truly believe. A disease that can make an honest man thieve. It can turn happiness into sorrow. Even take away any chance for tomorrow. Truth tellers lie and the once mighty now meek The once grounded qrow lost and the once strong grow weak. Tricky it is to find its trigger and to learn to step back if the addiction is bigger. When you trigger an addiction that is bigger than you, kindly bow out is what you should do. Because to beat it is something that cannot be done. Never look at addiction thinking you've won. Because it's always there waiting for us for all of our life Best to learn to control it so too not live in strife. To tempt fate with an addiction on any level, is like grabbing on to the horns of a devil. To have an addiction know it always will taunt , but to invite it in, know your life it will haunt.
