Life Sentence

life sentence I can’t go on with my life in addiction How can I ever have any kind of relations A week a month a year I really have no idea It’s all the not knowing That’s stops life growling You build it all up begin to restore All the love and respect from your family once more There’s is no sane or sensible explanation Just another day when Your living in addiction I can not promise I can give no guarantee all your worries and fear I can never remove or relieve No one can live with that uncertainty No faith and stability Chance after chance you gave to me I was so blind I just didn’t see I was killing all you had inside for me The saddest thing about addiction Is all your loved ones get caught in your affliction Most of me can be heeled addiction though can’t be killed So what ever Treatment I decide addiction will forever be right by my side

Phil, this is incredibly brilliant. "The saddest thing about addiction Is all your loved ones get caught in your affliction".

Thanks at the moment most of poems are along that theme I am a recovering addict but recently released it almost destroyed me I love my family so much living with shame and guilt because of it is really hard We’re slowly building it back together but it’s hard more for them I think
