My Addiction Poem By David L.

My Addiction Poem By David L.

 

 

Drinking and Drugging, was my lifes new high
I never thought so soon, that I would shed a tear and cry

The higher I got, the better I would feel
These moments of Drunkenness, were stronger than steel

 

The people I hung out with, to drink and to drug
It made me into, what you'd call a thug

I would steal, and beg, just to get high
My money was gone as soon as I got by

 

This never ending story, this story of me
I never understood how horrible this can be

 

I soon realized, that the high i sought for
Became my Additicion , that led my life from the core

 

These friends I called friends, were never there for me
There only concern, was to get high as can be

 

I needed the help, and I knew it was there
The help that I needed, the help that would care

 

For the many moments of using, I soon found the truth
I was drinking my parents, nasty vermouth

 

My parents did notice, the bottles were filled less
I felt the urge, that I needed to confess

 

Whether drugs or alcohol, whatever it was
I had to do something, to stop this cause

 

I went to my first meeting, of alcoholics anonymous
When the meeting was over, it couldn't have been more obvious

 

That my using, my addiction had brought me to an end
I knew it were meetings ,that I needed to attend

 

Even though I am sober, I must not forget
It would be worse and more horrible, than our national debt

 

The rehabs and hospitals, where I been so many times
The horrible things I did, would be considered crimes

 

I wake up everyday, feeling clean as I can be
No more headaches, and nausea, and the feeling of being free

 

Of alcohol and drugs, When I once used
My family my friends, whom all I've abused

 

I will always be an Addict, I'll always know that
If I don't go to the meetings, I will just fall flat

 

In a hospital or homeless, a situation where iv 'e been
I feel if I use, I'll be creating a sin

 

Waking up feeling sober, and clean as I can see
Shows me the way to a new life, the one that's for me
