Therapy

You and your addictions
have you chained to a rock
you will never escape;
deep within the Dragon's lair,
smoke thick,
full of fire and ice.

You could have been someone
else,
but chose to hit
the pipe and the bottle;
calming euphoria.

You've pierced and tattooed
your body;
self mutilation,
or self expression
depending on the labeled eye
of the beholder.

You've become
such a unique creature;
there's no stopping
you
from consuming life
in copious amounts.

So set your self
free
from what's been holding
you back
since the day you could
climb over walls.
