The Truth

The Truth

These chemicals rush my blood stream,
Causing me to cry and scream,
Everything was ripped from me,
Leaving me this debt to pay,
I've done some things I can't turn back,
My heart my soul tarnished and black,
The thought of it fills my brain,
Through all this there's nothing to gain,
I can't escape what I've become,
I've messed up, what's done is done,
It's taken everything from me,
My obsession holds the only key,
Unlocking truth that is ugly at sight,
My eyes have become used to darkened light,
I can't even see me anymore,
Tattered and bleeding I'm on the floor,
Exauhsted yet no sleep I embrace,
In this game I'm losing the race,
I've lost so much, but am losing still,
Laying down each night I think I've had my fill,
Yet up to that door I keep on knocking,
Even if I stop, still it's talking,
Eating me like a cancer spread,
If I keep going I'll end up dead.

Maggie Hadden
