Addictive Behavior

Addiction as it seems Lurks in the depth of mind As we try to gain control We leave ourselves behind We turn into immoral beings With this substance that we crave Things are fine and dandy now But to it, we became a slave Engrossed in our own debauchery Is how we learn to live Always uncaring and unfeeling This stuff drains us like a sive We go on for years and years Living this dreadful fabrication Getting high became a way of life As well as our occupation Until one day we stop and think What happened to the old me It seems I sold my soul to the devil And he will forever collect his fee We all must reach a point When were tired of all this Then we'll be reborn spirituality And seek happiness and bliss To learn this go to meetings Look deep within your mind To thy own self be true And personal freedom you will find
