Addiction Poem by Dean du Preez

Addiction - Affliction - substance causing friction
Deeper i'm falling, no one hears me calling
Alone in my body alone in my head
I walk this road alone, in the end it wants me dead!

All you have will soon be gone
Scattered along a dusty road
By the time you wipe the dust from your eyes
You will have nothing left to load

No one is immune to the desolation that awaits
Cos every single user one day meets the same fate
Sex drugs and rock and roll
Gateway to the devils soul

Even when you want to stop you cant
Willpower is futile
Try your hardest to stop
Not a chance in hell

For the hundreds of times i said no
All it took was that one yes
Stole away a lot of my life
And left me with the mess

Relationships - gone
Sunshine - gone
Truth - gone
Money - gone
This list goes on with all that's gone
Gone with the wind

In my youth I assumed the status immortal
Food for fools at the devils portal
Round and round running in circles
Downward spiral towards isolation I hurtle

Born addicted
Entrusted to doom
Born with the awareness
Something else in the room

Born to excel
Born to live
Born to carry this cross
Born to carry this cross

Its a heavy load
Claustrophobic aerobic
Confused muse
Don't ever try walk in these shoes

Minds altered
Breaking the rules
Consequences of damage
When you choose what you choose


Its a choice its a decision
Nobody is at fault but me
I have allowed without forethought this darkened destiny
But I'm on a new page

I'm on a new page now
Maybe a miracle don't ask me how

I'm on a new page and I am the writer
Its only too late when you are late

Never give up!
