I am an addict
if only an addict to myself.
I am insecure afraid
of never being loved by anyone else.
Afraid to quit
to give up that rope,
the one that I cling to
that gives me hope.
Petrified of gaining weight,
of becoming fat,
being a disgusting disgrace.
I am an addict
weak and sad.
An addict of my fears
I admit to myself
that's what I am.
Trapped in my head
looking for an antidote
to reverse the dread
I am an addict
locked up in myself
scared I'll never be truley loved
lost to everyone else.
Addiction....that human condition we all subscribe to in some form! Excellent.
I am an addict locked up in myself scared I'll never be truley loved lost to everyone else. ya caught me. you're describing my fears, my own feelings. Lovely write, wonderfully done! Gabriela
