To Set Myself Free

To Set Myself Free

A Poem by Amanda Mae MacInnis

The cigarette smoke that clouds my head
Satisfies my craving that yearns to be fed
The alcohol that numbs my mind
That leaves my body at ease
Affect my thoughts and I drop to my knees
The drugs that make me lose my mind
That take away the pain
Leave me feeling helpless
And somewhat less than sane
The wasted time I spend looking for true love
Is merely reality giving me a shove
What I choose to do now is all up to me
I've been trying all these ways
To set myself free
