My addiction

I have an addiction
To a legal narcotic
Does more hurt than help
So no prescription
Relieves heavy burdens
Induces temporary weightlessness
Then crashes so hard
The weight on weak shoulders
Is the demolition of tall fortresses
Knees buckle from the pressure
I can quit anytime right?
Stared at with broken legs
Watch as tiny green plants drenched in chemicals
Fall onto a bed of paper only to be twisted in the sheets
Burned inhaled and exhaled
Daily trials fade away with smoke coils
Strings, ropes, chains
That restrict mg mind from moving on
i can quit anytime right?
5 words that repeat themselves in a once strong mind
Weakened by this kryptonite
Addiction
An escape from the hell of living
Only to be welcomed by a hotter Hades of dying
Why are you doing this to yourself?
Hear me ask the mirror
I don't know it just feels so good
I hear whispered within the depths of my consciousness
Cant stop the signs seems to be so far away
Whenever one step is taken forward
2 are taken back
Always remembering the sweetness of life with
Dying without it
Dying with it
I can quit anytime right?
Clouds of smoke block out the past, bring haziness to the future
Thoughts of suicide encompass the mind when on solid ground
I can quit anytime right?
Overdose doesn't have to kill
Though still life gets real
No one is immune
If you pay attention like this piece .....
Everyone has an addiction
The only cure like STD is abstinence
Mission impossible when the addiction
Takes the form of the master solution
To all problems
Everyone has an addiction what's yours?
