Addiction

Addiction is a hand

On your back

Pushing you forward

Without regard

For the crowd

Addiction covers your eyes

So that you cannot see

The harm being done

Addiction plugs your ears

And makes you oblivious

Addiction shushes you

When you try to ask for help

Addiction is strong

Until you face it

Unblinking

Unmoving

Then it cowers and slinks away

As you kick, kick, kick

Giving it

What it deserves
