I Am Addiction
I’m past it,
Don’t need it,
Don’t want it,
But what am I without it?
It’s still part of me,
Tattooed for all to see;
Little lines of pain,
Worming into my brain.
My only friend,
Will be my sweet end.
I need definition,
What makes me myself?
I want to be put on a shelf;
Just define me by my actions,
My scars, my abstractions.
Show me who I am,
Who you want me to be,
Hate me,
Love me,
Save me,
Kill me;
Make me
Me.
My old comfort,
My old joy,
Red itching scratch,
And the sentiment I attach,
Dragging me down
And making me fly;
Making me laugh
And making me cry.
Is it addiction?
Is it compulsion?
Is it wrong?
I know it’s not right,
But if I ended it tonight,
Would it really matter?
I’ll never be past it,
Always need it,
Always want it,
Because what am I without it?
A/N: Thanks for reading and please let me know what you think. :)
ALSO I think this will be the last time I post here on FicWad, for various reasons, but I will continue to post (as I have done these past few weeks) over on my deviantART: http://coldkid.deviantart.com/
