Addiction - Freedom (Double Acrostic)

by Michael   Sep 6, 2017


Anchored upon bare terra firmA
Drowned in a place of desolateD
Depression and agonising dreaD
Induced with compulsive stimulI
Conjuring brain waves of paniC
Torturing minds with contempT
Inflicting pain within you and I
Opening an endless journey intO
Never ending feelings of obsessioN

Forgiving; ourselves oF
Ruinous mad behaviouR
Extinguishing the sterilE
Enslavement of our lifE
Diverge from the itcheD
Odium’s; and slip untO
Mindful and restful calM

    Crikey! I'll know I'm a 'real' poet when I can achieve something like this! This is the first time I've across an acrostic thingamy on this site and I'm so impressed!
    'Ruinous mad behaviour' perfectly defines addiction. I'm in awe Michael x
