The Poison I Crave

I live in this continuum,
Where I sit, I scroll, I rot.
This blissful poison hypnotizes me in,
An artifice far deadlier than I thought.

It promises me sweet lies,
Feeding on the pith of my mind.
I grow my own nicotine,
A toxin that turns me blind.

Stronger than any drug it seems,
It drags me out of reality.
I escape to the realms of fractured dreams,
Only to suffer their calamity.

I live in this continuum,
Where my soul resigns to the comfort I crave.
In this abyss I dwell,
I have learned to dig up my own grave.

Paula Goldsmith Date: 1/24/2025 1:00:00 PM I enjoyed reading your powerful write. I have seen a few people die from the years of nicotine. Only one could stop it. What an ending you have here. Have a blessed day writing away....................

I know people who threw everything away for alcohol or gambling. I hope you can overcome your own brand of poison. I learned to control my eating by counting calories. My TV watching. That's a different story!!
