Addiction Poem by Adeola Olayisade

She has been holding her breath
For so long
That she has forgotten
How to breathe

She has been hiding her smile
For so long
That she has forgotten
How her smile looks like

She has been living with lies
For so long
That she has forgotten
What the truth means

She has been living with hatred
For so long
That she has forgotten
The taste of love

She has been living with fear
For so long
That she has forgotten
What confidence means

She is trapped with her past
That she doesn't know
How to live her life
In the future.
