Self-destruction

The hope of future help

is a hindrance to an addict.

They lull themselves 

with future hope

that they are in control

and when they choose

they can beat this ''thing''.

Might as well boast

I'm going to fly one day,

fly to Mars

when the mood takes me,

but not yet for crying

out loud, not yet.

True Hope will only show her face

when self esteem and hope

in-self lies dead and ready to be buried.

It's a long, bitter, tearful road

that leads to the end of self,

but until and unless it is walked

in solitude there can be no other

end, but self-destruction.

I was an addict for 30 years and so I speak from experience of the effects and also in the knowledge of what addiction truly means.
