Addiction

Rest in one breath,

 unforeseen by the myth that exists

farther then the eye can list

Twist thoughts underneath your abyss

the prison expansion colorfully dressed

disguised from the eyes is the true poison inside

Carefully placed to encase your mind

It has eyes and sees

it thinks and breathes

knowing how to fill your needs

in a spiteful way it lies and deceives

Telling you its true happiness

giving you false hope

that life will get better just continue to smoke

Take another drink

pop another pill

enjoy life make it a thrill

what it doesn't tell you is that addiction is what follows

Dependence on substances that completely swallow

your soul body and mind

its designed to thrive and destroy everything held dear deep  inside

Unfortunately for this prison the walls that have risen blocking out the sunshine and bringing derision

A man has risen who has forgiven man of this decision to follow the world and deny his vision

With one last breathe addictions chains left until we as man wrapped them up again....
