The Hold

By Gray Vision

Feel me,
Use me,
Dream me,
Breathe me,
Love me or hate me
No matter what,
You'll always come running back to me.
I'm that addiction,
That frustration,
That anticipation,
That vexation.
Try running and you'll see,
The hold will bring you back to me.
I'll eat you up, spit you out
Fill you up, break you down,
I'm the boss of you, not you to me,
I'm the heart to you; you're the blood to me.
As long as I'm with you, you'll never be free,
Don't you see, we were meant to be?
I'm bound to you and you to me
Until its time to dispose of you,
And leave you be.

I wrote this piece on drugs because I hear people say all the time that, "the drug doesn't own them" or "they are in control" you know "I can stop when I want" or "Just one more shot or puff." The truth is that the drug is actually using them, the drug is in control. The drug isn't craving to be used but the person is craving the drug. The drug can wait but the person can't so who's controlling who? See what I'm saying by "Until its time to dispose of you, and leave you be."
