Becoming Sober (Part 2: The Realization)

You were once my person

My Everything

My every desire

My urgent need

My Earth, Wind, & Fire

I craved you

Like a smoker

Craves Nicotine

You kept me high

Oh it was so nice

But when the highs

Turned to lows

My sanity was blown

You weren’t good for my health

Yet I consumed you

Hoping your love for me would satisfy

The love I lacked for myself

But like any other drug addict

I seemed to lose myself in you

Until my soul

Called for an intervention

and I realized

I had everything I thought

I was missing

and my love for self

would help me overcome

This Addiction
