Hopeless Addiction

Hopeless Addiction I am just an addict and it's perfectly clear. It's worse than a habit, it's a problem, severe. It's my choice and it's tragic, just know I'm sincere, when I tell you that Addiction, is something to fear. So I'm just an addict, it's a choice that I've made. Now I'm a slave to my habit, shackled and chained. And I can't break free, it's so hard to explain, but it helps to not feel all the hurt and pain. Yes the hurt and the pain that I carry inside. But it's the hate and distain that I can no longer hide. I hate my addiction so it's time to decide. Do I break free from these chains, or just lay down and die? Do I give in and quit, just live life addicted? Or do I clean up my act and feel the pain that's inflicted? All the hurt and pain, the guilt and remorse. I guess it's true what they say, when it rains it pours. So it's raining on me, I'm trapped in the storm. This life that I live is so far from the norm. The people you meet and the places it takes you. If one things guaranteed, it's if you let it it breaks you. Yes it breaks you down never building you up. So if you're there right now then please don't give up. Even tho it seems impossible and your hands are cuffed. Just know that anything is possible when you've had enough. So listen to me, hear the sound of my voice as I tell you about addiction and my drug of choice. Let me tell you where I've been, and how much it costs. Let me tell you what I've spent, and how much I've lost. Let me tell you about the friends that I don't have anymore. Let me tell you about burden, hurt, guilt and remorse. Let me tell you that it's not worth it, I just hope that you listen. Stay away from all the drugs and hopeless addiction.
