The Neverending Book - 3. Addiction

Addiction


You think too much.
You drink to much.
This is why you sink,
No matter how many times you try to blink.
You cannot see straight.
It all looks foggy.
No matter the date,
You feel groggy.
It is all dirty & unclean.
This is why you act mean.
You are haunted,
By all of the things you have wanted.
These drugs are like bugs.
You cannot stop thinking about them,
Like you're in love with what you hate.
They suck the life from your fate.
It is nothing but a shackle holding you back.
It is a giant leech sucking the blood from your back.
What is compulsive is repulsive.
It is seductive, but, destructive.
The addiction causes confliction..
It clouds your depiction, no matter how many times you acquire restriction.
The infection causes dissection in your every direction.
Each insect will infect & try to affect,
Whatever, it is, that you will select.
How will this go away?
Discover the reason you do it in the first place.
And, only then, will this black flower be removed from your vase.

One of the things I really like about this poem is that the syllable count varies from line to line. It makes the flow really interesting, and I think it matches the subject matter, somehow.
