Intervention

Everyone has a rock bottom. Sometimes it comes to a screaming stop. You realize............

 

You shouldn't have opened that door.

You shouldn't have desired to know more.

 

No!

No!

Why?

 

I'm running.

I'm crying.

 

Why did you want to catch me?

One more hit would have set me free.

 

Yes!

Yes!

One more hit!

 

Maybe then I would admit

 

To the lies

To the deceptions

 

Why didn't you walk away from your suspicions?

 

Skin crawling

Chest is aching

 

I broke all of the plans we were making.

 

I'm flying away.

I'm not here to stay.

 

I found out about false teachers.

I heard sermons from evil preachers.

 

I'm coming home.

I need time alone.

 

My withdrawals are subsiding.

My personalities are dividing.

 

Silence

 

My only intervention

I follow my conviction.

I like the flow of this poem, it actually speaks a lot in just a few simple words. Being addicted to anything isn't nice...Yeah, it might seem like a good thing while you're addicted, but when you look back and see all that's changed since then, it's amazing to see how much you've changed. I really like this write, because it's very strongly written. Great job.

whoa. This is deep... and real. I personally battled with drug dependency, and as I was reading this, I almost heard the screaming in my head of my soul craving sobriety, while my flesh craved the next hit.. well done.

Very powerful and this hit close to home as I have a brother who needs an Intervention and I could imagine him spazzing out. You created a vivid picture and drew me in; good read.
