Addiction

By: Nick Workman

 

.. ..

 

He wakes up midday

 

Teeth aching; knees shaking

 

Addiction won’t go away

 

Who’s he really faking?

 

Watch him cipher through his s**t

 

You know what he’s looking for

 

Just one last hit

 

He knows it’s somewhere in that drawer

 

Nothing else around him matters

 

To him everyone is a ghost

 

Not caring who’s world he shatters

 

Because he has nothing to boast

 

If only someone could help him out

 

But he won’t let them close enough

 

He lives a world drowned in doubt

 

Every step for him if rough

 

But he brought this all upon himself

 

No one forced his behavior

 

He doesn’t need to try to be stealth

 

But it’s just his nature

 

This vicious cycle won’t ever end

 

Until he finds his strength or dies

 

These demons he’ll forever fend

 

Before judgment, try seeing through his eyes…

I like this..short and to the point. I like the words you chose, and how you rhymed with them. Clearly depicts the point, and yet makes a lasting impression.
