Abuse

A Poem by Taylor
"

This is about my struggle with the addiction to the vices I have in my life.

"
Abuse
I wish the things I inhaled could consume me
Fill me, permanently. 
Make me feel like there's something 
there
Not only defining me but keeping me
together
Maybe that's why they call them "substances" because you tend to
turn to them when you feel empty.
Or when everything you built on your own has tumbled to the
ground as a result of your own twisted doing.
And the only glue you have to piece the puzzle back
together is that substance.
But for some reason...
that substance doesn't seem to love you or need you back,
because it already has you deep in their firm grasp.
It's inside you now
filling you, just how you wanted it to before.
And now, you breathe it in, just like air.
