Addict

They tell me I’m not old enough

But I know that’s not true.

They say I need to wait,

But I’m tired of it. I’m through!

 

I want to make my own decisions.

I want to feel control.

But when I think that I am free,

I find I’m in a hole.

 

They act like they know everything,

Even when they’re wrong.

But now that they are right,

I’m trying to be strong.

 

I am not in a hospital

Nor dumped in a ditch dead.

The police were not involved.

I’m trapped inside my head!

 

They warned me of addiction.

They told me do no more.

But I refused to listen.

Now I can’t find the door.

 

The constant pinging, beeping,

I always feel a buzz.

I reach inside my pocket

And pull out only fuzz.

 

It’s gone! I can’t believe it.

I cannot find my drug.

But still I feel it vibrate,

My constant ringing bug.
