Poisons of Life

All these poisons are controlling me
       And no they just will not let go
There slowly but surely destroying my life
        And leaving my life in woe
     
       So I say damn these poisons
          My hand, please let go
         Because I am not a person
        A person to live in woe

           But how does one quit
         Everything he's ever done
           If everything in his life 
      Revolves around poisons of one
   
        I can begin to feel the poison
      Almost flowing through my veins
      These poisons are slowing my life
          It's time I made a change

         But the Constant temptation
         Is very real and always there
        So I shall give in to this poison
           And act like it isn't there

              And on this sad day
          Of loneliness and despair
          Please do not judge me 
          It's not like I didnt care
               
           These poisons in my life 
       Are too strong for thine heart
       Maybe one day when I'm ready
           I will try for a new start
