Poem I wrote

UNFRIENDING ADDICTION

.

.


Addiction

Cunning, baffling, powerful

Can and will create the emotional states

Such as anger, resentment or self-pity

That requires the drug-of-choice

To modify the upset emotions

That were generated by Addiction

Cunning, baffling, powerful

To convince the person

That the drug of choice is required

The necessary solution to the pain.

However, we can visualize behavior

That doesn't turn to the Addiction

(Which was NEVER your true friend

Or any real consolation at all)

We can visualize new coping skills

That by-pass the Addiction 

Strengthening these coping skills by repetition

Becoming stronger for the next time

Addiction offers its smooth slide

Into oblivion, where nothing is ever 

Solved.
