ADDICTED

Drowning in the depths of despair,
Lost in the endless cycle of pain and fear,
Trapped in a world of darkness and tears,
Where the mind is clouded by addiction’s sneers.
The urge is relentless, a fire that burns,
Consuming every hope that one might earn,
Fueled by the need for a moment’s peace,
Ignoring the price, the destruction it will unleash.
The grip is tight, a vice that won’t let go,
Dragging one down to the precipice below,
Where the only way out seems to be,
A fate worse than death, a soul in agony.
But hope still shines, a light in the dark,
A ray of warmth, a flicker of the heart,
Guiding one to the path of recovery,
Where the spirit soars, and the mind is free.
Though the journey is long, and the road is steep,
And the temptations linger, ever ready to creep,
Into the mind, and the heart, and the soul,
But the spirit triumphs, and the addiction loses its hold.
Life is beautiful, a gift to cherish and explore,
A journey of discovery, a purpose to adore,
And in its light, addiction fades away,
Leaving behind a legacy of strength and grace.
So rise up, dear friend, and take the first step,

Towards a life full of love, joy, and depth.
