I t seems it was my fate to be Introduced to this addiction Born by way of bloods descent Mixed with generations past affliction I have watched them sink so lowly Into the depths of selfish little cracks Like burdens of un-human kind Carried on their children’s backs
Feeding on the scraps in life Of those who struggle to survive They care not for a child’s grief When their addiction comes alive It passed me by with sorrowed grins Longing and obsessed by what it craved I watch in mourning as your gift Of any tomorrow was enslaved
You took the food from our mouths To dine in the belly of the beast On our tears and misery you fed Addiction boasted of its feast All of you just wasted away Right before our haunted eyes The depravity of selfish want No longer wanted its disguise I left your addiction to starve Within its bowels I did divest IT chokes within my bitter heart While YOUR life he can digest
I am sickened by the display of false fault of the perverse I won’t fall prey to your depravity or this ****** up family curse I know it’s lurking round every corner waiting for me to descend It's the shadow hounding at my feet and the cycle without end
There’s a needle in my hand And a bottle of gin on the table I would smoke this entire bag of **** If my lungs were able There are lines drawn out across my mirror begging for my endless attention There are hundreds of little jagged pills That laugh at your impending intervention
There is heaven here In this ecstasy and elation Making love to all these drugs Through oral copulation It’s not any one of these drugs That gives way to my endless contradiction I have found that escaping my pain Is my only true addiction
I thought for so long that I was the only one who could say I made it out of my family with out some addiction. From the oldest to the youngest there is daily abuse of some substance. In my maturity I have found that addiction is not just for substance...some are addicted to pain, food, ***, sympathy, relationships, love, reading, running, gambling....and many more. My point is, it's easy to look at a drug addict and point out their addiction, WHAT ARE YOU ADDICTED TO???
