The Addict

06/02/2021 – Poem a Day Compilation



When I first felt it –

The adrenalin rush

Coursing through me –

I knew I needed it.



I came back,

Week after week,

Wanting more

Each time I felt it.



The desire grew

And I could not stop;

I needed to feel

That insane buzz.



I would binge

On the weekends

Then during the week,

Sometimes every day.



If I couldn’t get it

I would crash

Lusting for the thrill

On edge without it.



I was helpless

Trying to suck people in

So I wasn’t alone

In my addiction.



Now, it is over,

And I am lost,

Knowing I must survive

Until the next season.
