Me.

Addiction; The uncontrollable compulsion to do something over and over no matter the devastation I brings to you, your family, or your furture.

I know this all too well, and never have I fully came out of it's depths. There is nothing more frightening than the realisation of addiction. It's too much.

I'm addicted to sex, love, hate, drama, coke, weed, alcohol, psychotic behavior, lying, eating, and above all writing. I'll never stop.

I'm a cheater, a liar, a drug addict, and a crook.
I'm a father, a friend, a kind man, and a son.
This is me. I'm addicted to life.

    The form I created didn't come out for that list, but I was trying to create a step effect.

    Okay, what you have here is what I'd like to call a draft. The words are fine, but they are not yet inform. This is more like what I visualize for the first stanza:

    Addiction: the uncontrollable compulsion
    to do something over and over
    The devastation I bring matters not.
    You, your family, or your future--
    It all means nothing.

    See what I mean? Prose with form. The same for the second stanza and then for the third, some creative structure maybe?

    I'm addicted to sex,
    love,
    hate,
    drama,
    coke,
    weed,
    alcohol,
    psychotic behavior, lying,
    eating,
    and above all writing.
    I'll...never...stop.

    And the last stanza is good, except for, I think you shouldmake the last line two lines. The piece is not bad, but it DOES need structure. thx for entering, and let me know how you feel about tese changes.

    Interesting. I like the line addicted to life though I would go a total different direction with it myself. Good thoughts.

    Good work

    I like the flow of thoughts, however I think it could sound a little more poetic. Maybe you can improve on your usage of words and language. I like the tone. It sounds like a journal. I like writing pieces that sound like journals. Just the fact that this is a poem, I think you should put a little more power in the words. Good work! Keep it up.

      Thanks for the honest opinion. I don't get enough of those, even though I'd like to.

    Excellent!!
    I'm addicted to many things..
    It's physically impossible to be addicted to weed though.. it's a mental addiction or something. So i'm told =] I don't believe it though.

    I love this piece, it's straight to the point and it made me smile. Perfect.
