She sits alone staring out the window upon her face lies an ominous glow
Her pain creeps through soul like shadows in the dark
All she can think about is the gloom in life
Tears start to rain upon her visage as the night goes on
When she starts to taste the joy of life she runs back to her room to sit alone and soak up the painful memories
Each happy moment she feels guilty and craves the pain of the past she wants to feel bad, it’s the only thing she knows
She feels that being content is never enough she wants to feel the pain deep inside
It seems to tempt her to coax her away from life, numb is the way to live never happiness or joy
So instead of living life she continues to stare into the darkness of the night, longing for a way to get away from this shadowed burden looming above her.

Ok...I want you to write about the darkness within you and how it can be addictive. You know what I mean if you’ve been through it. Don’t choose this one if you don’t get it.

This Would Be True
Yes addiction is a sad and dark place to live. I'm in recovery myself and understand addiction all to well for I even lost my son to an overdose just less then a year ago. The pain is so unbearable you just want to numb out. Excellent expression of what it feels like to be an addict... The pain that I feel from the loss of my son is all I can do is to stay sober for the pain is so very intense I to just want to numb out but that is not an option for me. Looks like you shall do well in the contest.
Many Blessings
