My Addiction

Is an addiction free admission
to admitting something's missing
Or am i obtuse with an excuse
i wanna be acute, I'll listen
 
Cause my missions disposition
Is from a condition conflictin
With ambitions assistance
sayin good riddance to resistance
 
And splurge on the urge then perge
guilt when sober over my fault
trapped as the leaders subject
In my self created one man cult
 
And I have to halt, cause now
I have a living child
So I gotta be responsible and sober
Not weak to temptation and wild
 
But I don't care if I'm exiled
from the place i go high where denials a smile
Where fast talking, twitches
and  sweating pile a while
 
But a while could be 3 days
lived in wut feels like an hour
Now ima broke, shameful liar
whos sad and smells sour
 
And is in need of a shower
But at least i am aware
so tired but too wired to
Retire so i cant help in desire stare
 
At the phone while trying to talk 
Myself out of calling for more
Only to sadly give in just like I've 
Done Many times before
 
But ur never lonely when ur
high Never insecure or scared
Ur ok with ur problems goin rotten
at the bottom, and there's
 
No pressure just pleasure, where u
Treasure having no treasures
But it all works against u when
ur sober and not feelin so clever
 
And wutever u endeavor seems
To never leave u short
An excuse so u can abuse wut u  use
when u drink pop and snort 
 
But Thats wut i want to abort
Cause I'm pro choice on the matter
But no matter how hard I try
Temptation always seems to lather
 
Wut it splatters to scatter and 
shatter the hope
Of being drug free and still love me
And cope without dope
 
But hope is dead like the pope
Wheres da rope so i can join the dead 
Is the need to feed temptations 
Greed a chemical imbalance in my head
 
 or am I simply weak, 
Empty and lost forever
I'm so scared i won't repair
the despair of being impaired ever
 
Which should be a good enough
reason to stop Like the law to those
Who hang out in parks in a trench coat
running up to ppl and expose
 
His genitals once his trench coat
Opens up to show he's naked
Can I use my childhood as a
Scapegoat? or hip hop music for makin
 
Me turn to drugs
Which does make me a disappointment 
poisoned with the cure cuz
My decease is the ointment
 
And my pillow is moistened
As it absorbs my tears
Like an alcoholic 
Who's liver absorbs beer
 
And so of course it's clear
The end is near unless 
I quit the shit that insists i don't 
Resist only to leave me a mess
 
And to those that struggle in depth
With These same troubles in life
Lets either help each other stop or 
help the other get a better price
 
That's A joke, I hope, 
Just know I'm coping too
And u are not alone even if u think
 u need drugs to feel that its true
 
Wish I could say more 
wish I could say something better 
But I struggle with sobriety in
Society every day and will forever
 
Cuz my addiction has a hold of
Me like moms do newborns at nite
It feels like my soul crumbles to get 
Smoked in Rob fords pipe
 
Knowing I'm blowing my chance
To victory dance and advance2 my goals
But I don't sneak out to seek help
cuz I would freak out I know
 
So I deny
 i get high And i do it so well, 
I sometimes believe my own lies...
Avoiding the problem that still dwells 
 
So this is for the closet druggie
The secretive one
Who thinks its better to hide it
Trust me I tried it, it's just a loaded gun
 
Without a safety, so maybe 
It'll kill u accidentally if not
The addiction surely will
so open up to someone u trust and talk
 
I wrote this for me.... 
I wrote this for you
I wrote this for the closet addict who
 
Itching and Twitching like he's
being electrocuted and soon
 his eyell look like a
character from an anime cartoon 
 
Til he grinds his teeth til there gone
and  loses every friend he had
All his possessions all his savings
His siblings mom and his dad
 
And all hell be left with is wut I leave
on the stage when I'm done this piece
Incase u cant visualize it 
Ill do u a favor, and leave 
 
....for all the jps who never had an hdf... I'm lost forever
