Many Traps, In Our Lives, Today



We have
so many traps
in our lives today,

These traps
(addictions) hold us,
in this place to cope, and at bay.

We pop pills
to get high or for
a headache and then,

We smoke
cigarettes
and anything else,
to calm our nerves when,

Something
happens to cause us stress

Really
all this is,
is an inward battle,
we must confess.

Like
in our relationships,
we want to be accepted and loved,

So,
what we may do,
is love way too much,
then we may get shoved.

So ... To cope
with this we drink
a glass or maybe a bottle of wine,

Then,
over time
we have to
drink more and
more to get high, we find.

There is
also the sex
issue, which ohhhhh,
makes us feel so good,

We have
to get it and have
that feeling and even
though, it may hurt anyone
in our path, we would.

Some
will stick
their finger down
their throat and purge

But, this trap
is very destructive
and much will emerge,

So many
health problems they
do not need,

Different thinking
and healthy nutrition
are what is needed to lead.

We need
to all realize,
these are all traps
sent our way, meant to destroy,

I call these
traps, tricks with
no treat, that steal our joy.

We must, go
a step forward and
be willing to
admit and confide,

We live a way of life,
that is, very destructive,
it only
loses its power over us,
when we stop  . . .  trying to hide.
