Addiction

Album: Curtain Fall

One way or the other, we have fought personal battles

Ones that only we know about, self rattle

During such phase, you either let it consume you

Or you fight it with every zeal

Some you have to fight alone

Others you fight when you are totally lonely

There are times when you wanna call it quits

But you can't 'cause it has a firm grip on you totally

It even becomes part of you, parasitically

Eating up your every time, every energy, everything

The struggle is real within every living being

Denial of it is non-existent

But to overcome it, you need total persistence

In this matrix of life and cubic of struggle

We search for strength through the telescope Hubble

All we hope to do is stop it

Especially if it is affecting our sanity

It is a rough road, like road to rediscovery

Life and its additives

Living and it's pathway to activities

We are all addicted to something

Something we wish to stop

Something we have been wishing we could've firm grip on.

Run away from it for a day or two

Next thing it is back to daily prescription

The teenage transition is a clue

But you might be lost into the sea with a clueless crew.

Everything is based on what you want

I believe, though I wouldn't lie

That we can overcome it all

You just need to really wanna stop it

And work towards it with all resistance

Because as the saying goes and I quote

If wishes were horses, the blind would play polo

The root of addiction is pain

Pain from a spirit that has been set ablaze.

How I overcame mine? With a pen for sure

When the addiction came, I decided to add diction.
