I happen to love poems and I found an old poem I had written about my addiction so I thought I’d post it here and if anyone has any poems they’ve written or that they enjoy, feel free to post it here (it doesn’t have to be about addiction, it could be about anything, but bonus points if it’s on addiction (no competition tho)). I’ll start by posting mine in the comments

My Addiction
Addiction is not beautiful or something to be glorified
It is also not something to be made horrified
It may feel like a helpless road
Yet how I see it, our stories have just been untold
People don’t talk about addictions like they do about love
I don’t even know what love is anymore
I kept hoping I’d die and go up above
Yet so far I’ve only ever been able to fall and hit the floor
I needed to hit rock bottom with arms open wide and weary eyes
To be able to see how much I was living my life in a disguise
Hiding the fact that I am an addict
Addicted to love, or so I thought
To the point that I’ve lost touch of my mind being tricked
It took a endless amount of courage, strength and trust
To be able to come out and say I’m an addict of lust.
