'' That Power Only You Possess '' Poem by Bri Mar

'' That Power Only You Possess ''



Addiction is a word we tend to abuse,
Saying it slurred its translation you lose,
It’s really absurd it’s a habit some choose,
Why is anyone’s guess?

It’s just a way of refusing to say no,
Another day they’d be told where to go,
You do have a say but you feel so low,
Your decision will only depress.

It’s just a fixation inside in your head,
You’re filled with elation yet also with dread,
That very sensation could leave you dead,
But that feeling you love to caress.

The first time’s unique it won’t happen again,
It’s what you now seek which will bring you pain,
Your future is bleak you’ll be driven insane,
Then you’ll be left in distress.

Dependence rules only if you allow,
So all the fools make it their vow,
They tell the drug mules here and now,
My problem I refuse to address.

Where there’s a will there’s always a way,
Hitting up will kill and cause others affray,
We all have the skill to stop the decay,
Those feeling you need to suppress.

Your problem is though you know its abuse,
You let those drugs flow fast but loose,
It gives me a glow is your paltry excuse,
Saying quitting will just give you stress.

It’s not just drugs it can be drinking as well,
An obsession with bugs or a hang up about hell,
Hanging out with thugs to get into a cell,
Some just love to transgress.

If you want to quit then it can be done,
Bit by bit the battle can be won,
When you ditch your hit life can be fun,
It’s the only way to progress.

Put up resistance and you will find your cure,
There will be assistance if you can endure,
If you value your existence you can make it pure,

‘’ That’s A Power Only You Possess ‘’
