My Addiction

My addiction

A cruel thing

Something you can't control

The cuts and burns 

the feeling of pain and sadness

Cuts on my thighs

Blood falling down my legs

As i want to stop I yearn to bleed again

My addiction

I yearn to cut yet yearn to stop

The life of an addict

the pain and sorrow

Cuts on your thighs

82 to be exact

yet i yearn for more

The secret life of an addict awaits

Yet i stop, i resume

I have an addiction

None but me knows the cruel world waits for my arrival

I long to stop but resume to cut 

For i have an addiction

Add I C Ti On You can see and tie on to life... life is just choice after choice after choice after choice and what choice will you add I see right NOW...stop because if you can't stop for you....stop for the innocent little girl inside of you that doesn't deserve it. You have to take care of the little you....you must love her....it may feel like the only control YOU have, but that little girl inside you doesn't get to make a choice...who's cutting her????.....Kyam

Powerful, raw, edgy and gritty yet enjoyable.
