 Addiction

Those powerful inner secrets that even I don't realize,
But all the world can see my weakness and it laughs.
This power deceives me with its pleasures and delusions.
Addiction dwells within my mind.

That which I don't wish to do, that I have no power over
The  alcohol that forces themselves down my throat.
It is more that a temptation, as there is no escape.
Addiction stains my heart.

My weakness is exposed, as I understand that I have no control.
The powerlessness of my will leaves me distraught.
Where is the escape, where is the stick to break this vessel?
Addiction attacks my body.

As I understand that I am entangled in this web,
I must admit that I am without hope within my own strength.
I must choose wisely now the path of my feet.
Addiction ravages my life.

This is the beginning of the end, when I see myself in truth.
Only in this truth of vision can I begin to focus on the answer.
Step by step I unravel this massive knot in my shoestring.
Addiction needs my patience.

The power of understanding empowers me, as I open my heart.
Grace pours in to heal this gaping wound from the inside out.
Time is my friend and patience is my weapon against this foe.
Addiction is becoming weaker each moment.

My life continues to unfold from moment to moment,
As my strength is more dependable with each step forward.
From within is the light that gives me the precious sight.
Addiction will never enter my soul.
