" A child of an addict..."

A child of an addict, what a
state of mind . What a shame
in the dark, controlling from
the start. Not knowing when.
A child of an addict , such
burdens on a kid can be -
systematic. Extreme esteem
issues. All hope seems lost,
for brighter day's. In bed at
night at the ceiling I stare as
I lay. What was once a dream
is now my nightmare. such
disappointment one can dare
to share. A numbing feeling of
the heart.
