(913) Addiction

It nags at you like an aching tooth, never allowing you to tell the truth. Your mind is always confused and hope is not an option. You have become a slave to a crude adoption. Stomach in knots, nerves stretched to the limit. Thoughts of suicide enter into it. Lies come easy, one after the other. The truth should be told, but that you must cover. An evening out, a night on the town. You smile with excitement, but yet end up wearing a frown. All is lost and nothing gained, once again you pay the price. That’s what you inherit for throwing the dice. You hang your head and wish you were dead. Knowing you must find a way, to settle the score of what you’ve lost once more. When all is said and done, you justify your actions by thinking you had fun. You’ve managed to quit smoking, you never take a drink but this new addiction doesn’t allow you to think. So when your last twenty is gone, and you no longer can access the Atm. It is then when the regret takes place and you must find a way to deal with the disgrace. Written by: Melvina Germain July 18/06
