Addiction

A wave rushing through me,

a storm yet to subside,

an urge catching me off guard,

I have nowhere to hide.

A quiet thought erupts,

the rush pierces my vein,

leave behind all my hard work,

and relinquish the pain.

The sweat begins to drip,

I take note of this feeling,

a relentless attack,

yet my body is healing.

I choose the path less traveled,

for I rise above,

I conquer my mind,

and instead, I choose love.

A startling decision,

I embrace my future now,

I still stay on the watch

for it was always on the prowl.

I know it will come again,

and cause much friction

but this time I am stronger:

I will beat this addiction.
