Judging An Addict

A tidal wave of judgement
And it’s coming from all sides
Gave away my expectations
I don’t want the prize
I can’t escape my feelings
I know because I tried
Now I’m paying for that choice
I made and asking why
Why did I seek distance
From the ones I hold so close
Ashamed maybe deep down
that my using meant the most
When did I give up
And what was the cause
It’s been so long I can’t recall
What put my life on pause
Addiction had consumed me
Got high morning night and day
While underneath my skin
I’m fighting to survive the pain
Some People think it’s simple
Yet they’ve never gotten high
The judgement tends to come from those
who don’t know what it’s like
