My Addiction To You
You were my world, my drug, my amphetamine
My strength, my comfort, my everything
Over time I became weak unable to use my voice,
Afraid to make waves afraid to make the choice.
Today is the day I will speak without covering my mouth with your hand
I deserve to be heard I’m no longer under your command.
I was afraid to open up, to face the demons inside
But I must be brave and open my heart wide
If you don’t understand a word or cant keep up with my little rhyme
Please look it up and take your time.
My mind clouded by static
I became erratic
An ecstatic charismatic
Emphatic pragmatic addict
Constantly battling the traumatic
Automatic almost always cinematic
Drastic events
It can’t be fenced
The visions are so clear and defined
Like I have travelled through time
So vivid and clear to me
Sometimes unable to return to reality
No matter how many pills I take
Or how many pills I take to forget
It never goes away
The deceit the pain the regret
I need a new habit
I havent found one yet.
