Downward Spiral of Addictions
The Downward Spiral of Addictions
by Shirley Rebstock 4/17/2015
Ahh the sip of fantasy, passion, your Heaven
Sweet kiss of deceiving love drawing you
My warm embrace will hug you, squeeze you til death
You will laugh, yes you will laugh until you cannot stop crying
Friends will join you on this merry-go-round of glee
If that is fun, how much more the roller coaster
Calmness, slowly creeping upward then, Bam, racing downward
So fast can barely see
Some get off saying that is enough fun, others like you continue the ride
Spinning out of control like a tornado
Leaving a path of destruction of hearts and minds of those loved
Who flee in despair
Some go with you in your desire to destroy self and ease your pain
Tomorrow you say, all will be well, you will be well
For today, ahh another sip of your true love, your fantasy, your passion
Your Hell
Having loved and worked with people with addictions, I have seen wonderful talented people lose their life and happiness due to this enemy.
God created people to worship and have fellowship with Him, so everyone worships someone or something. If we forget the God who created us, we will run
after false gods or demons. Deuteronomy 32: 15-18 and Ephesians 5:18-19, “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead be filled with the Holy Spirit. “ With God all things are possible, even freedom from addictions.
PS: When I first wrote this poem and read to my grown son, his response was, " All right, all right Mom, I'll stop eating so many cheeseburgers."
