Addiction Poem by Sincair Farrell

Addiction



Addiction
Completely time consuming
Absolutely mind numbing
An overbearing problem
Incredibly hard to overcome

A pain fuelling
Exhaustive burden
In the end
You feel numb

Lost and desperate for the next fix
Time constantly wasted
Pursuing it
Empty afterwards
Yet time after time
The wanting heart succumbs

Desire afflicts
For the object it lust after
The chase becomes constant
Hour after hour
The yearning
Becomes even greater

Obsessive thoughts
Trigger a relentless pursuit
An untamed affliction
Uncontrollable addiction
Mind controlling
Today you feed the habit
Tomorrow you battle the inner addict
The cravings are non stop

A psychological problem
Unresolved emotional issues the root cause
Of the wounds of an afflicted heart
The addiction is the medicine
To ease the pain
That arises as a result

Any road to recover
Starts with self
Depending on the power of the will
And self help

One day at a time
Taking those baby steps
Beyond the pit of despair
To heal
The damaged heart and mind

A long process
Beginning
When the addict can admit
They have a problem
And realise
I am more powerful than any addiction
Then recovery is well underway

Hard to fully overcome
But it can be done
And that battle that you once thought was lost
Can be won
Addiction.
