"Addiction"

Eric Shreves
10 a.m.


You never needed us before high school
But the pressure they applied made you change
Now we’re your crutch that makes you think you’re cool
We are the normalcy that made you strange
Did you really need her all those mornings?
And was he worth all those forgotten nights?
You never cared to see all the warnings
While you looked towards the impossible heights
Why did she ever bother to wake you?
Just for him to steal your inhibition
Her hot temper has just finished its brew
As he cuts you off by his volition
Yes, I’ve always known of my afflictions
But it’s not easy to break addictions.
