Addiction In Remission
Addiction is an affliction often looked at with indifference
A disease that not many understand that sometimes ends with a life sentence
It creeps and it calls until you eventually fall
Shakes and chills are only the beginning of the withdrawal
I speak of this epidemic because I have lived it
Thou shalt not judge something if they have no experience with the mental and physical statistics
Even when you think you know about the Hell that we live
Think again because you haven't walked in the poison the lives under the surface of our skin
Everyone says it's a choice and damn every addict to Hell without a second thought
But if you only knew what we have been through and the battle that we have fought
Poison that numbs the mental and physical pain
Fogging but freeing up the anxiety and stress within the brain
Chronic pain patients labeled unfairly as seekers
All we want is to be normal without the the fear of life altering features
Features built in by our genetic code
A code that puts our bodies and minds in an alternate mode
Some only use to numb emotional pain
Please never forget that they are humans that need love one in the same
So next time you decide to place a label upon one's head because of the life they lead
Remember that you don't understand because you don't wear their wounds that forever internally bleed
A disease that not many understand that sometimes ends with a life sentence
It creeps and it calls until you eventually fall
Shakes and chills are only the beginning of the withdrawal
I speak of this epidemic because I have lived it
Thou shalt not judge something if they have no experience with the mental and physical statistics
Even when you think you know about the Hell that we live
Think again because you haven't walked in the poison the lives under the surface of our skin
