Poems - Addiction: Have you ever tried to understand
| | Addiction: Have you ever tried to understandby babylugz
When you hear the word addict, what is the first thing that pops in your head?
Is it oh they are all worthless pieces of crap, who are all better off dead
I am sorry if you dislike me because I have this addiction
But what if you woke up one morning and found yourself in my position
Would it be a struggle for you to make the right choice
Would you try and tell this drug no, but see that you have no voice
You may think so many have done it, so why can't I do the same
But believe me if it wasn't hard, then my sobriety I would maintain
Don't you think that it would be a little strange
If this addiction was something I didn't want to change
But I can't just wake up one morning and say this is it
Today is the day that I finally quit
I do not use drugs because I don't care
For you to assume that, just isn't fair
I started when I was 13 years old
Even though I had been told
About the dangers of using
But being a teenager can be a bit confusing
I didn't realize the strength it had
I figured there is no way that it could be that bad
But now I see that it gets it's power by making me weak
There have been so many times that I want to say no, but couldn't speak
My common sense flies out the door
I know its wrong, yet I scream for more
I use to deal with emmotion
It's like a magic potion
When I was in high school I carried it in my drink
So nobody would ever think
In college I would smoke in the bathroom during lunch
Nobody knew or even had a hunch
I graduated and got my degree
I function normal don't you see
I got a wonderful job with good pay
And was still using everyday
If I didn't use I would be tired
And I didn't want to get fired
For not coming in
So each day I had to use again
I got married
And have still carried
On with this addiction
But it's causing so much confliction
I want to quit, yes I do
Afterall wouldn't you
For this drug I feel disgust
Yet at the same time feel lust
I know it's going to send me to my grave
Yet, still I crave
So what is your prediction?
Give this girl a conviction
Do you feel there is no hope?
Can you see me sliding down the slippery slope?
I know I am an addict, but do you think by putting me down
That it is going to help pick me up from the ground
Don't tell me that it is not hard until you have walked in my shoes
Because I am telling the truth when I say I don't want to use

i feel you cause i been there. its the truth, you may get mixed comments because at times people are afraid of the truth, especially if it hits close to home. whatever the comments don't let it dishearten you, forge on sister. someone out there is listening and will maybe hear you. very well written, you put your soul into that piece, more of a autobiography than a poem but awesome still the same. peace out momi

Most ppl can not or will not understand....it's not the addiction that holds an addict captive..... it's the fear of the withdrawals....you have described this quite well with the line...."But now I see that it gets it's power by making me weak"......I hope you soon find the strength you'll need my friend......A Well written piece indeed.......Whisk
