Monster

My addiction is a phantom.
Yes, it haunts me and it calls my name.
My addiction isn't random.
It's in my blood, it's in my veins.
I am smart; it is smarter.
I am strong; it is stronger.
My addiction knows I'm human
and I know it's a hungry monster.
My addiction gives no option.
I feel like it has made my choice.
My addiction won't be quiet,
it likes to raise its fucking voice!
My addiction is romantic,
my addiction likes to fuck.
My addiction is an ecstasy,
No man will ever measure up.
My addiction knows me better
than I even know myself.
My addiction, my oppression;
I am hostage to this hell.
My addiction keeps me prisoner,
sometimes I think I hold the key.
My addiction leaves me powerless,
sometimes I think I can be free.
I am fighting my addiction,
still we argue every day.
I stand up to my addiction,
But it is never far away...
