Everyday is a gamble of your soul,
you can't break free from these drugs tight hold,
addiction can strike leaving nothing but tears,
the thought of leaving them brings on dark fears.
Break the addiction before its too late,
your life will collapse and destroy all that you make,
the road not taken can be a fury from hell,
or the distant sound of heavens ringing bells.

Oh my god... I just recently had a brush with an addiction's curse and I must say you captured this beautifully. And it is honest. This is something that I know could help so many. It touched me and can touch so many more.
