How have I let myself get in this state?,
A twisted affliction, addiction, mistake,
No morals, no feelings, no emotion, just greed,
No time for integrity with an addiction to feed,
A life full of nothing, and with nothing for life,
just a day by day struggle to reach the next high,
No morals, no feelings, no emotion, just greed,
No time for integrity with an addiction to feed,
Each day the same outcome when I have promised to quit,
Awaking, to the aching, of my body in bits,
No morals, no feelings, no emotion just greed,
No time for integrity with an addiction to feed,
I will do, I need to, I want to break free,
I choose life not the addiction that’s been ruling me.
Hi Benx – good to hear from you and Happy New Year – this is powerful stuff.
I really identified with the repeated verse about loss of values. That was my experience too.
Thanks for the feedback, i wrote this poem when i was in rehab.
I found writing a great help to me when i was in the early stages of recovery,i never spoke about my feelings when i was on the gear so it was a relief to be able to release some of emotion i was bottling up inside.
I find the guilt is the most difficult thing to get over,i still feel guilty about my actions,others have forgiven me but i still need to be able to forgive myself.
Reminds me, and helps me understand. Many thanks.
I love this Ben
‘no morals, no feelings’ – can definately relate to that. In fact one of the most rewarding aspects of my own personal recovery is that my life now contains values. I may not always make the right decisions or say the right thing, but at least i now feel true to myself. My life has some integrity.
Thanks again
Looking forward to hearing what action you are taking to break free and choose life.
Nice one Benx, a good expression. We all look forward to hearing about the life you have chosen :-)
