Who am I?

WHO AM I?


When times get tough and the pain is real,
The cards are on the table and it’s a bum deal.
That ‘someone’ steps into my worn out shoes,
They whisper in my ear that I’ve nothing to lose.
Who is this person that takes control?
Comes into my life and feeds on my soul.
Argues with my sanity and knows no right from wrong
Takes me to a different world and says that’s where I belong.
Euphoric feelings swamp me and I give into the fight,
I’m a prisoner to these feelings as they continue with their plight.
They say you are immortal convince you that it’s right,
Offer you the apple to take another bite.
The journey that they take you on seems the perfect route to take,
Escaping all the torment and no one to dictate.

As time goes on, the journey never ends,
The route they chose to take you on is full of dangerous bends.
The perfect destination becomes harder to achieve,
It is not the bed of roses that they led you to believe.

Please God, help me recognise who this person really is,
The one who takes control of me and leads me into this,
Please give me the strength to learn to recognise and predict,
That the person I am fighting with is I, the drug addict.
