Addicted
I lay awake, confusion biting at my mind.
Wonder is tearing apart my soul.
Greed is destroying my body from the inside.
It is too much for me to control.
I am addicted to useless things.
Impure images race through my head, torturing me.
I don’t want what this sin brings.
I only want to be set free.
The devil seems to lurk inside.
Making me go to those places.
I feel as if I’m being tied.
He is trying to ruin the person in those faces.
I want these thoughts to leave.
I don’t need those images to live.
In place of hate, love I will weave.
I will give all I have to give.
I want to stop these actions.
I don’t want to be led astray.
I feel I know others reactions,
when they see I’ve gone the wrong way.
When I stumble and fall, I want to spring up, and go forth.
I want to see tomorrow as a clean slate.
So I shall follow my moral compass North,
and will try to choose a better fate.
So whatever you do, don’t make the same mistakes that I did.
Even with what your “friends” say; it ain’t worth it.
Because for your life, you don’t want to bid.
If you don’t start- you’ll never have to quit.
