I CAN'T STOP
I can’t stop thinking about you all the time! Your an old friend who has been there to help me get out of my “mind”. I struggle everyday to forget you, but your like a VIRUS which multiplies it’s sickness over and over again. I always run to you-when I say, “I’m done with you.” Why won’t you leave me alone? Why won’t you go away? I made one bad choice one day- when I agreed to let you in- now I run to you, what is wrong with me? I had so much going for me. You trapped me in your snarls of deception, like a serpent does it’s prey. All you do is leave me empty and once again you played me and used me for SIN! I’m sick of being tired- I’m sick of putting in! This is INSANITY and I need these chains broken off me. I don’t want you anymore- but EVERY TIME something upsets me- you sneak back into my life to pretend to “comfort me” Your a LIAR- KILLER- all you do is DESTROY those that let you in! GOD I’m begging you, please save me from my sin. I can’t do this anymore. I have entertained the devil for way to long- now it’s even harder to not LET YOU GO! Why are you always there for me in my moments of DESPAIR? Why do you ALWAYS tell me… JUST ONE MORE TIME? Well guess what!! I have figured you out, your nothing but a fake, a liar, a master manipulator. You prey on those that are weak- I HATE YOU NOW! I want you out my head! OH! GOD! Please help me- save my soul! Dang! I’m at it AGAIN! But wait, I remember you telling me it’s never to late to come back- God, I’m sorry! I know you have been waiting and I’ve been trying- I promise- but LORD, “I CAN”T STOP” I can’t seem to “Let go” What’s that God? I hear you!!! I feel you getting near- I’ve always been told- you play with fire, you will get burned. I beg you GOD, take this HELL away from me- break the chains that bind me ever so tightly! God I beg you- HELP ME! HELP ME! The chains are starting to cut off my circulation- GOD! GOD! DID YOU HEAR ME? It’s getting hard to BREATH! I NEED YOU LORD! JESUS! I only need you-GOD! I need you to help me escape this horrible nightmare. Please God-HELP! “I CAN’T STOP” Only you God can break these binding chains- only YOU-GOD can take a person, who says, “I CAN’T STOP” to a place of “LET GO” please God, deliver me because I can’t stop- and it was at that very moment-she STOPPED! The desire to quit was always there, so she took her last breath and “let go” Only God can DELIVER YOU from this sickness and insanity! Prayers for all the still suffering addicts and their families.

Quite...
the exhortation to give up drugs and a life of "sin".
I wish you well in your recovery. Write it out, turn the need to communicate into a beautiful thing. Use words to describe the life all around you. Explore the feeling of Spring, the calm of a warm summer day and the ferocity of the wind in the storm. Use poetry to search for new meaning. Life is good. ~ Geezer.
