Addict

A Poem by Jess Rose

Hello, I'm an addict.
What am I addicted to?
Well, it depends on the day. 

Hello, I'm an addict. 
Today under the subcategory of
An Alcoholic
My grandfather was an alcoholic
I swore I'd never touch the stuff
But I was weak
And fell in love with the dizzy it made me feel
I was suddenly able to laugh again
Laughing at the illusion of happiness it could give me for a while before I vomited up
All the sickly sweet smiles

Hi, I'm an addict
A stoner to be exact
I've never smoked or done anything of the sort
But I know that if I did I would never ever stop
I get high on imagining the high
And wishing more than anything that it would be true

Greeting, I'm an addict
Your local nymphomaniac at your service
The s**t who will sleep with anyone for a dollar
But I don't care because I need the feeling of skin to skin
My body is my body and I can do what I want with it
Even if it is to let you do what you want with it. 

Hey there, I'm still an addict
And this time the drug is blood
Though no, I am not a vampire
I'm obsessed with my veins and the sting in my brain as the blade breaks the barrier between my insides and the world around
My blood is my own and my pain is the most magical sensation

Yes, I am an addict
And no matter what I'm addicted to,
The drug remains the same
I'm addicted to feeling happy when I'm not
And is that really such a crime?

This speaks volume! I was born a addict due to the fact my mother needed a s**t load of medication to keep her heart from failing. Everything she took whilst pregnant I took. I can find will get addicted to anything that boost dopamine. Addiction is not talked about enough. So Yeah really enjoyed your words.
