Help.
January 6, 2015
Addiction
Breaking down your soul
Creeping up inside you
Deteriorating inside and out
Enough!
Find your voice
Get up
Help yourself
I can’t do this alone
Just catch me when I fall
Keep me in your arms
Leave me alone, let me go
Mend my broken heart
Nothing can change the past
Only you can make yourself happy
People don’t understand
Quit this, this
Ridiculous sadness
Slowly drifting away
Time to give
Up
Very tempting but
Wait!
X-actly what they want right?
You don’t have to do that
Zap! You can change.

This piece was inspired by my parents who both struggle with being addicted to smoking. It hurts me alot that they both dont see the harm in smoking and doing it around others and young children.
