Life Addict (Free verse) by Enkidu
I wake up and I need it, bad.
It's got my system hooked.
From sunrise
to sunset I crave it.
I've tried meetings,
interventions,
giving it up cold;
suicide.
Each moment's worse than
each previous and I'm torn.
I can't sleep.
I need it in me.
Every dollar I spend feeds this-
my addiction.
Coffee, concert tickets, Coca-Cola,
bus rides and airfare get me by,
to that place I need to be.
It's wonderful when it hits you.
But I need more: a job, hardcore stuff.
Greeting cards and magazines.
I need family and friends.
Sure, my addiction is real
and I'll feed it 'til the day I die.
