Addiction

I think the poem speaks for itself...

Addiction is a handOn your backPushing you forwardWithout regardFor the crowdAddiction covers your eyesSo that you cannot seeThe harm being doneAddiction plugs your earsAnd makes you obliviousAddiction shushes youWhen you try to ask for helpAddiction is strongUntil you face itUnblinkingUnmovingThen it cowers and slinks awayAs you kick, kick, kickGiving itWhat it deserves
