An Attractive Addiction

A monster has appeared in my body,

A demon has struck I feel shoddy.

You made me think you were the answer to my pain,

I let you in but there was no gain.

 

You soon ruled and became my master,

And led me down a road to disaster.

Now all I do is cheat ,steal and lie.

The deeper I go the more I cry.

 

Drugs have become my best friend,

To stop taking them I see no end.

The monster is there that I must feed,

Difficult to stop when I feel the need.

 

You are the master of the most evil kind.

Controlling my body,heart and mind.

You are the demon determined to stay,

Plaguing my body every single day.

 

Heroin ,alcohol,cocaine or pot,

Addiction will take all that I've got.

All day long more drugs I seek,

Financial chaos,stressed and weak.

 

But one day there was a knock on my door,

A drug dealer maybe to sell me more.

I opened the door and to my surprise.

There was a young lady  blonde with blue eyes.

I fell for her and gave her a few hugs,

She was my future,said good bye to the drugs!!

It would be delightful if addiction was cured by love...it is a hope
worth holding on to when craving of an uglier sort seizes the mind and body. A point to note:
Alcohol - mainly spirits - can physically harm the body when taken
in excess over time (kidney/liver etc.); otherwise its effects can be accommodated if the body is given time to recover. e.g.
drunk at night...sober by morning.
Drugs, on the other hand, can actually alter the body itself and it is
this that makes "coming off" them so hard for so many and
creates the "craving" that is so damaging to the individual and to
society which has to suffer the effects and the crime that is so often a result of "the need to feed" the addiction.
