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.
