Spiritually bankrupt,
vulnerable and weak
the moment in time,
inner demons seek.
Exscrutiating pains,
crying out for relief.
any cost is irrelevant,
no matter how brief.
The main attraction
leaves me satisfied.
Creating distraction,
or feeling gratified.
Like times before,
comforts disappears.
Quickly replaced by,
deep rooted fears.
For it's not substance
fueling an addiction.
Rather a gaping void,
of life long affliction.

This is very coherent. In other words it's well thought out and each stanza follows the last with just the right words. The last verse is extremely thought provoking. As a recovering addict I see some truth in it.

Superb
A very fine write, indeed. Imagery; rhythm and rhyme are just fine. Thanks for sharing this one with us.
