Addiction
Addictions of a certain kind
bind me
while the sweet tastes of life are disguised
by my addiction
To overcome this addiction
will be a hardship
quite hard to overcome
yet someday will be accomplished
The will to deny this addiction
will take much time
keeping all those I love in mind
while the hard times that are ahead of me
I will not be able to overcome on my own
Asking for the help of others
requires me to put aside my pride
asking for help
is just beside me
Pride is the obstacle
that I must overcome
in order to no longer have this addiction
Pride must not overcome me
I must overcome pride
This poem was written to get some feelings out, not necessarily to let the world know just how hard things are, just to let them know that no matter how strong you are, something in this world will get in your way and mess up your plans of success. So keep in mind that YOU must keep your goal in mind, and never let pride get in the way, pride is the reason for most things that happen in life. Never be too pridful to ask for help!!!
Thank you for your time in reading this.
