Do You Give In, Or Run Away?

when your life starts to bring back the stress
that you use to fearfully hide behind
the monsters of your past, your addictions
do you give in, or run away?

struggling daily, everything gets harder to bare
reliving the memories when you could just get high
forget about anything and everything
do you give in, or run away?

trying to face reality, addictions make it worst
every second you try to pass through the craving
to hit, eat, inject, or blow your mind to bliss
do you give in, or run away?

addictions are hard to fight
yet i do it every single day
i think about what is more important to life
do you give in, or run away?

plenty of times, i have just wanted to give in
but i wont let myself, i will run away
so far away that eventually the craving will be gone
and then i will be free from my monsters of the past
