Pop the pills
Take a drag off nicotine
Drink to the last drop of alcohol
Crave the adrenaline rush in a roll of paper
Sexual immorality is always an option
Close in on the hope contained in damsels who are as desperate as you
Call them your other half to feel like you've found what will complete you
When in the end, you find no other human being alone can be trusted to fill what your heart and life needs.
Starve yourself to gain the likes of others
Powder your face, and mask what you don't like
Eat through the pain to dull it
Work out your kinks in a gym
Take advantage of people to make money to support your addiction
Then when you have had enough
Get detoxed
Use patches, gum, candy, anything that will take your mind off your addiction
Get yourself on a diet
Go to therapy sessions
Go to a rehabilitation center
Makes a lot of sense to indulge in those things that make you want to stop afterwards.
Somehow we all know we need to quit someday
Yet somehow we think it will keep us alive
When in reality it leads us to our graves
For some reason we always want to be forgiven for those mistakes

Too true. Much too true. Keep writing from your heart.
You confront a brokenness that is universal to all humanity.
