I've Changed My Addiction
The blade is gone
I still continue on.
I see it there taunting, flaunting, daunting.
Just daring me to give in.
Again.'
This is my confessional,
It's a little unconventional,
but hey, it's my problem anyway.
How do I say it? I've given in.
To a different kind of sin.
I decided to drink my them away,
maybe they'll come back someday.
For now I'm in a stupor. That I can't turn back from.
I am drinking to go home.
I drink to keep my head alone.
I do enjoy casual conversations.
My mind is unnatural conservation.
Maybe someday, I can turn away from the past.
For now I tip back my drink.
As I slowly lose my ability to think.
I still continue on.
I see it there taunting, flaunting, daunting.
Just daring me to give in.
Again.'

Addictions are some serious stuff, from what I got for your poem, you had an addiction to drugs that was very conflicting and you dropped it by picking up alcoholism. I hope you are doing ok .

I had an addiction to many things. Sex, drugs, and cutting. But thank you. I am doing quite well now:)

This was wonderful. I can relate which is one of the reasons why I instantly fell in love with it. Great job.

quite enjoyed this one, well written, though I'd suggest on the eleventh line replacing them with dreams:]
