Addiction

Addiction by Gabrielle Selmon

It's like the devil to the mind and soul
No realistic chains but it has a hold

It can destroy the mind
Kill you dead then leave you behind

An early death to those within its chains
An for the family it causes pain

Tears will fall 
There will be pain for all

But before this can end 
You must destroy this trend
