The Addict in Me

#addiction #reality

This bottomless pit
Had knots in my stomach
Stopping me from escaping
The wreckage and rubbage
I have come to live with
Since I put up with this s**t
I'm doing something by replacing
This constant high I'm chasing
Praying someday I won't be complacent
Lost in this basement
Kind of like the last base hit
That pipe is still scorching hot
But it's never enough.

I feel the pain and the fear to fall again

This is powerfully stated in modern lingo yet with an ear for the sounds of your word crafting such as: "wreckage and rubbage" . . . it seems like this is a story about committing to quit, but there's also a lingering note of ambivalence that makes me wonder if this narrator is really ready to do the hard work. Sometimes the desire comes before the commitment! Well done nuances (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
