I berate, isolate myself
As I deal with the aftermath
Of the tragedy
That my life has become
They all sang the same tune
Advised me innumerable times
Pleaded me
Gave me ultimatums eventually
To escape this addictive trap
To quit inhaling poison
That brings nothing but self-destruction
They said I’m losing my true self
And sooner or later, I’d lose them too
Every time I strained myself
To deny the temptation
To listen to my inner voice
But my urge to feed this addiction
Always won
This hard-fought battle
Leaving me
With a Pyrrhic victory
I’ve burst the denial bubble
The growing distance
The resounding silences
Too much to bear
It’s time to redeem my life
And I pray for the end
Of this mentally exasperating nightmare
