"I'M Your Disease"

[BUTTERFLY-7]

I hate meetings. I hate Higher Power. I hate anyone who has a program. To all who come in contact with me, I wish you death and I wish you suffering. . Allow me to introduce myself. I am the disease of addiction--- --- --- Alcoholism, drugs, eating disorders, etc.I am cunning, baffling,and powerful.That's me! I have killed millions, and I am pleased. I love to catch you with the element of surprise. I love pretending I'm your friend and lover. I have given you comfort, Have I not? Wasn't I there when you were lonely? When you wanted to die, didn't you call me? wasn't I always there? I love when I make you so numb you can neither hurt or cry- - - you can't feel anything at all. This true glory! . I give you instant gratification. I've always been there for you. When things were going right in your life, you invited me. You said you didn't deserve these good things, and I was the only one who would agree with you. Together was were able to destroy all things good in your life and all I asked of you was long term suffering. . People don't take me seriously. They take strokes seriously, heart attacks seriously, even diabetes they take seriously. Fools that they are, they don't know that without my help these things would not be made possible. .I am such a hated disease, and yet I do not come uninvited. You choose to have me! So many have chosen me over reality, peace, serenity! . More Than you hate, I hate all of you who have a 12 Step Program. Your program, your meetings, your Higher Power, all weaken me and don't allow me! to function in the manner I am accustomed to. . Now I must lie here quietly. You don't see me, but I am growing bigger than ever! When you allow me to control you, I LIVE. when you live I' CAN'T. But I am here. . . and until we meet again, IF we meet again . I wish you continued "DEATH AND SUFFERING"(Awareness Thinking").

Thanks Butterfly. It's been floating around and in a few different forms, but it's always a good read. I'm surprised there aren't any replies....wait, no I'm not.

I am your Disease; Unknown author


You know who I am, you've called me your friend
wishes of misery and heartache I send
I want only to see, that your brought to your knees
I am the devil inside you, I am your disease

I'll invade all your thoughts, take hostage your soul
I'll become your new master, In total control
I'll maim your emotions, I'll run the whole game,
till your entire existence, is crippled with shame

When you call me I come, sometimes in disguise
quite often I'll take you by total surprise
But take you I will, just as you've feared
I want only to hurt you, with no mercy spared

I bring self destruction, but still you can't tell
I'll sweep you through heaven, then drop you in h-ll
I'll chase you forever, wherever you go
then when I catch you, you won't even know

I'll sometimes lay silent, just waiting to strike
whats yours becomes mine, Cause I take what I like
I'll take all you own, and won't care who sees
I'm your constant companion, I am your disease

If you have any honor, I'll strip it away
you'll lose all your hope, and forget how to pray
I'll leave you in darkness while blindy you stare
I'll reduce you to nothing, and wont even care

So dont take for granted, my powers sublime
I'll bend you and break you, time after time
I'll crumble your world, with the greatest of ease
I'm that madman inside you, I am your disease

But today I'm real angry, you want to know why
Cause I let this roomful of addicts slip by,
how did I lose you, where did I go wrong
One moment I had you, the next you were gone

You just can't dismiss, all the good times we shared
when you were alone, wasn't it who appeared
when you sold those possesions, you knew you would need
Wasn't it I who stepped in first and agreed

Now look at you b-stards, your all thinking clear
you escaped with your lives, when you found your way here
only fools think there winners, when admitting defeat
Its what you must say, when claiming this seat

So go ahead and surrender, if thats what you chose
but I am not giving up, cause I can't stand to lose
So stand in your circles, and pray hand in hand
for g-d to came save you, leaving me to be d-mned


Well be d-mned all your meetings, each day of the week
be d-amned higher powers, however unique
Be d-mned all your sayings, be d-amned your cliches
be d-amned every addict, who back to me strays

For i know it will happen, I've seen it before
For those who love misery, will crawl back for more
So take comfort in knowing, I'm waiting right here
But next time around, you just better beware

you think your stronger this time
there isn't a hill you can't climb
well if thats what your thinking, you aint learned a thing
I'll still knock you silly, if you step back in my ring

But you say you've surrendered, so what can I do
It's sad in a way, I had big plans for you
creating your nightmare, for me was a dream
I'm sure gonna miss you, we made quite a team

So please don't forget me, I wont forget you
I'll stand by your side watching all that you do
I'm ready and waiting, so call if you please
I won't let you forget me
I am your disease

You know when I was in rehab; my roomate wrote that poem down. She had memorized it.. She had it photocopied, and it was handed out to all of us.
