Addiction

The pain she feels as her blood flows is strong

Cutting deeper, the pain strikes

Closing her eyes, takes a deep breath

Losing conscience, misery is what she dislikes

But she cannot help living that way

A blade is what she wants

Love is what she needs

Together they make so meaning

Again, she rips her wrist open

Her heart drenched in blood

The knife touches her skin

Causing a loud, painful thud

Cannot help the pain

Suffers the same everyday

When asked to stop by her soul

The reply was ‘NO WAY!’

Simple addiction to harming herself

Was nothing she could stop by holding her breath

The next step to her addiction

Was causing her own death

Nothing stopped her doing this sin

Until that day when the plan was arranged

She suddenly saw the bright side of things

And her thoughts somehow changed

But addiction is nothing easy to handle

And she couldn’t stop but use that blade

Her arm like hair, she cut and cut

Too addicted to stop, too afraid

One day, she gathered up her strength

And took her blade, that one she kept

Threw it in the river, leaving memories to fear

Watching it sink into the depth, she felt love was near

Love will come, by stopping what you cannot stop

For the sake of happiness in life

Addiction is something you can stop

Even if it’s dealing with a knife
