Cocaine
Causes so much pain
To what disdain
Will you remain?
Got it’s hooks in you
Deny it as you do
Same mistakes made again and again
Excuses and broken promises remain
Nothing meaningful left
Only shame, guilt, and debt
Enabled you too long
For that I was wrong
Your tortured soul
Being pulled by something more powerful
No longer in your control
When will rock finally hit bottom?
Lies and denial
Hope it’s all worthwhile
Hurting everyone you claim to care about
Without hesitation, without any doubt
No longer surprising me pleasantly
Just predictability
For you’re only looking out for one thing
The one thing that keeps you running
Running from all of us that love you
For in your mind you don’t deserve our love
Running from responsibility
For fear you’ll fail miserably
Running from your true self
Without ever asking for help
No more shame or blame thrown your way
For I’ll love you all the same
You are never alone
If nothing else make that known
Mindfully Authentic
