Addictive

by xEmmax   Oct 31, 2005


It's like being on that reckless high
cigarettes stealing your pay,
gambling on those fiery horses
every hour of everyday.

It's like turning to the alcohol
drinking yourself to sleep,
like craving drugs so desperately
your sanity is hard to keep.

It's an addiction if you didn't guess
an addiction which just gets worse,
a desired craving to hurt myself
an uncontrollable curse.

An addiction which pollutes my mind
diverts the attention of my brain,
devourers my body, piece by piece
numbing all feelings of pain.

An addiction which i cannot quit
however hard i have tried,
an addiction which grows out of hand
leaving marks you cannot hide.

    Nice poem!! I love it!! It's kinda similar to mine but not really, it's funny how there's a common theme. Have a question, have you found a way to overcome the addiction??

    I love this, you articulate it so perfectly. And the comparison between addiction and cutting really works, I even get withdrawal symptoms if my knife gets taken away! Anyway, keep up the beautiful imagery, I love it.

    So scarily true it's like looking in a mirror!

    Wow, awesome piece, the beat of this is flawless which really adds to the poetic side of things. As for the content, I think your descriptions are vivid, they are also quite disturbing but I'm guessing that was intentional. Really nice work overall, 5/5 :)
