Her Addiction

by Jessica Lynn   Jan 13, 2007


My addiction is strong
It's been going on long
I face it every weekend
All I do is spend
Cash going down the drain
For something that makes me go insane

I love it though I can't let it go
Every sip to my lips I get so relieved
To get everything off my mind & leave it behind
It feels so good to sit there and feel so blind

Not knowing what the world is thinking
In my own world just believing
That tomorrow will come & ill feel like scum
But I'll get right up again and do it once more
For this addiction has taken me to the door

It's opened and I'm in
Now the addiction will take me for a spin
Hopefully I will get dizzy one day
And withdraw from this addiction and just lay
Relax and realize this has all been in my head
That I can stop and not spend

Another cent on this ridiculous liquid
I want to throw it in the sink and rinse it with the spigot
Down down the drain it will go
Instead of my throat so slow

I can do with out it, I do know
But I want it so bad
It's my addiction, MY HOME!

    THE second paragrah is my fav. I guess
    if you did'nd go through that part it would
    be easy to stop. I mean something got
    to make us want to do the same insane
    thing over and over. actually that the def.
    of insanily < doing the same thing over and over and always expecting it to be different next time>
