NO HARM DONE
Follow me
I’ll bring you to my pusher
with a pssssst down an alley way
he doesn’t call to me
I walk brazenly into his store
where I also happen to purchase
a fuel fix for my car
My mouth waters
greeted with panoply of possibilities
to sate my vice
do I crave chips or cheese puffs
perhaps a candy bar or two or three
life wouldn’t be in balance
without a package of cookies
oh and I can’t forget my protein
beef jerky presented in all varieties
mmmmm I’m feeling better already
Now what to wash it down with
in this I am so sensible
I always select soda pop
that is sugar-free or nearly so
these magic beverages
nullify any of the harmful effects
of my other snack choices
I can be so damn smart sometimes
Location, location, location
where to consume my sweet ‘n’ salty hoard
I’ll start small in the car on the way home
that takes 2 minutes
sneak the rest past familiar security
to the safety and acceptance of my bedroom
fire up the laptop
watch my favorite shows online
or perhaps write some poetry
while slipping into a junk-food orgasm
my sumptuous habit won't kill me
at least not tonight

Recognition is the first step to recovery, right? I appreciate your comment Belle...it means a lot coming from you.

I don't think I've ever met anyone without an addiction of some kind. There's the pretext of a fuel fix for the car, but that may be a ruse. The real agenda is junk food. In the case of a problem drinker, it's ordering dinner and, while at it, a glass of white wine wouldn't hurt. Then something to wash the dinner down. And so it goes. The food may not be booze or a controlled substance, but it can be compelling and potentially destructive. And recognition is the first step to recovery. Fine job, Gahdess.
