Not today

I dont have a problem and anytime I can quit
Don't say I'm an addict
I don't see a problem and one good day I will lay off it
Don't categorize me as an addict
I won't acknowledge an issue because I don't need no one judging my soul
And having sobriety is not a priority right now, its not a long-term goal
Don't call me an addict
I know I am more than able to quit
Don't tell me my soul needs serious recovery
This is my life that's no discovery
If I had a good reason to give
I only have this one life I am pushing harder every day to live
Don't sit here and try to convince me I am an addict
I stumble every chance because I want to
I crumble in hard times because I don't know what els to do
Don't write me off as another addict, another statistic
This isn't the life I choose, it chose me
Can't you see...no matter what you or anyone else has to say
I know I am capable of quiting, just not today

thank you, i try to write as honest and raw as i can thankyou for your comment

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
