An Unsavory Force

Listen !  Listen ! 
I confess I am
Captured by an
Unsavory force.

Talk tells
of my burdens,
anxiety is tearing 
at my heart.

Strain appears 
on my brow,
struggling to make
contact that is meaningful.

Caught in the trap
of my role,
the sounds I hear,
are the noises of addiction.

Deafening noises,
keep me distanced
from the very
heart of God.

Dulling noises,
Keep me from 
honestly talking 
about me.

Me in relationship 
to Christ  who is
more than able
to break this addiction.
