Living In Oblivion

Living In Oblivion

A Poem by Dylan Cook
"

This is about recovering from alcoholism and addiction

"

 Livin in the oblivion of addiction

 Will only lead to my destruction

 Gotta find the sunlight of the spirit

 The desperate willingness to do it

 

Don't surrender, never surrender

It's a black widow a deadly lover

A vampire of dangerous desire

Bound to burn me in its own fire

 

 Livin in the oblivion of addiction

 Will only lead to my destruction

 Gotta find the sunlight of the spirit

 The desperate willingness to do it

 

It's a ravenous predator lying in wait

Seething with resentments greed and hate

Waiting for me at every single turn

Wanting me to slip and forever burn

 

 Livin in the oblivion of addiction

Will only lead to my destruction

 Gotta find the sunlight of the spirit

 The desperate willingness to do it

"It's a ravenous predator lying in wait
Seething with resentments greed and hate
Waiting for me at every single turn
Wanting me to slip and forever burn"

Reminds me of lyrics by The Shins... "See those unrepenting buzzards want your life / when they got no right / as sure as you have eyes / they got no right"

Keep persevering against addictions!
