So This Is Finally It

So this is finally it? 
It is in this moment that I will choose to use or to quit.
Do I remember or do I choose instead to again forget.

For so long you have been the direct cause for so much of my pain,
and yet I still cling to you like an infant to its' mother.
So completely terrified of the world just beyond her grasp.

A decade ago I was converted by your power, 
I have since then been one of your most devoted followers.

The back alley bible is what you preach. 
A gospel so alluring that there is no barrier you can't cross,
No soul soul out of your reach.
