[hometext] =>
[bodytext] => I get high cause I’m moving slow.
Got things to do……
But between me and you.
I get less done, when I’m under the gun,
Or point as the case may be.
After the point,
or toking a joint.
I wander around,
loosing pounds,
Back and forth,
And to and fro.
Never sure which way to go.
Looking lost,
I move piles of stuff,
I should have tossed.
From here to there,
But it never really goes anywhere!
Junk! Junk! Junk!
Everywhere I look is junk!
Baskets and bags,
and boxes and trunks.
All of them full of frickin junk!
I'm surrounded in this pointless *****,
and I never really notice it.
I'm oblivious to the mess you see,
because the point of it is hiding me.
I know the reason why I have to hide.
Though to myself I've tried to lie.
Me, Myself, and frickin I!
We three talk about it constantly,
But never ever honestly.
We try and try to justify,
what we know is just a lie.
A fruitless and exhausting job,
which leaves us just an angry mob.
This inner turmoil is self inflicted,
And knowing that, keeps me afflicted.
We lie to ourselves time after time,
always keep buying that same old line.
It’s not that bad, I’ll quit tomorrow.
But when tomorrow comes,
We start again,
Back at the beginning,
It never ends

To read your words it's rather stunning
I've been there and you didn't leave out anything
it's what people can relate to that brings us together
truly addiction is lack of moderation
but I'm sure it's the act of forfeiting
everything else which is frowned upon
I started a reward system for myself ,like a child
when all my buisness was handled
only then could I sit back and truly free my mind
I love the honesty and sincerity in this passage
not to mention you write very well

I can relate to this alot with my own battle of chasing that dragon. You write the tale so well and really show the reader your agony my wishes and hopes go out to you that someday you can be free of that devil on your shoulder.

I did too and the chase finally ended when I surrended to god and NA.
Give yourself a break, keep writing, and come to one of our meetings.

Wow, pretty damn spot on...& it's so hard to imagine anything else after awhile in this kind place,
but, by questioning your own integrity with self, I believe you've taken a crucial step...
keep writing & improving your footing!
