Addiction

Everyone knows someone who suffers from addiction. It could be you, or someone you love. This subject hits very close to home with me.
Here is what I am asking for....

1)Your poem has to be in the first person.

2)It must convey your true feelings - either about yourself and your own addiction, or your feelings about someone you love. (i.e. Anger, loneliness, confusion, dependancy, emptiness....or even hope and healing).

Rules:
1) Keep it CLEAN, no obscene profanity or erotica or you will get the boot!

2)No rules on length, but please know that I am easily distracted.

3)Please comment on any poems that you see fit to comment on, but be encouraging and helpful. NO BASHING.

4)Please spell-check, no sticky caps or made up words.

    Thank you for the winners! It was really tough to limit it to just three. So if you did not win one of the first three places, just remember that you have a place in my heart. Thanks for sharing on such a tough topic.
