Addiction and it's Promises

Addiction and it's promises

Addiction

I have taken over you,
Growing slowly throughout the years.
I gave you visions of ecstasy
While I fed upon your fears;
I made you feel inadequate,
I crept into your soul;
I was growing, ever stronger
As your heart was growing cold.
I let you see only hopelessness,
the hurting pain and strife.
I pushed until your will collapsed
so I could own your very life.

Now, I am feeling some resistance,
I can feel your spirit grow.
I sense somewhere in the distance
You are searching for your soul.
My life is slowly ebbing,
Into darkness I must go;
But as I lie here sleeping
I will never cease to grow.
For I am always in you,
I will never truly end.
So you must keep a constant vigil
Or I will own you once again.

I will lie here always
Creating voices in your mind.
So you must keep a constant vigil
For I am always keeping mine.

ALCOHOL'S DISASTROUS PROMISES

I have some promises I'll make to you, If you will do what I want you to.The more that you consume of me, The more then will your losses be. Here are the promises to you I make, And I promise the promises never to break.

I promise to take your money, your home And all you can get in the way of a loan. I'll take your character, your reputation to. Your good name, I'll take from you

Your friends I'll take from you one day Your family from you I'll turn away I'll take your car, I'll take your wealth I'll take your job, I'll take your health

I'll take your watch, I'll take your chain,I'll cause you to stay out in the rain. I'll take your credit, I'll take your bail, I'll cause you to sleep in a dirty jail.
I'll cause your name to go down in shame. I'll bring you misery, I'll bring you woe, I'll bring you trouble more than you know. I'll take your clothes and pawn then too, The necessities of life, I'll take from you. I'll take from you days, I'll take from you years, I'll double the flow of your bitter tears. I'll take your heart, give you one of stone, I'll cause you to walk through life alone.

I'll take away your desire to live a right life, Your light of day I'll turn to night .I'll cause you to dishonor your mother and dad,I'll take all the pleasure you could have had. I'll turn your love for your friends to hate, Your desire to repent will come too late.

Your road to despair for you I'll pave,I'll cause you to fill a premature grave. I'll put you in an institution for the insane, Your normal thinking will go down the drain.

I'll cause you to murder your best friend, I'll trouble your mind to the very end. I'll bring you contention, I'll bring you strife, and I'll finish with you by taking your life.

"O God, that men should put an enemy into their mouths to steal away their brains!! That we should, with joy, pleasance, revel, and applause, transform ourselves into beasts." - ( William Shakespeare...The Tempest) So true, isnt it? And the whole time in my addiction, I was perfectly sane and rational....heh heh...lol..yeah RIGHT !!!
