Change Poem

I wrote this poem to my addiction. I didn't realize how much power it had over me until it finally destroyed everything I once had. I have a new life now, without that monster in it. This poem was a turning point for me, maybe it will touch something in someone else and turn on the wonderful light I have lived in for the past 15 years. Harold

You

You
You are so deceiving
When you come into my life
You make me feel the best I can
Yet you stab me with your knife
You take away my money,
my friends & family too
You take away my dignity
My life revolves around you
You give me the pain
Then you take it away
You are playing a game
That I don't want to play
I'm aware of you now
And all that you do
Listen; I want 'Me" back
I don't want you
