Judgemental Addiction

People judge your addiction Because they don't understand How anyone could let life Get so far out of hand. They don't see there's a battle You have to fight every day Against the demons inside you Hoping they go away. While you watch your life Spiral out of control, Slipping further out of hand And tormenting your soul. You know you need help, But you're too weak to ask. When it comes to relieving pain, Only drugs do the task. They will fill the hole That is in your heart And put your soul to rest, A feeling you hope won't depart. It's the only comfort you get In this life of yours As the drug overcomes you And your mind soars. You think, "Why am I fighting? I'm never going to win." This high is your only escape From this hell you live in.
