Help me survive
Don't you want me to stay alive?
Help me breathe
Because I can't do it alone

I'm to weak
My life supply must have a leak
I need more
or less...not sure

My family needs me
But i can't fight the needing
It's calling my name
I'm coming little friend

Addiction becomes conviction
Addiction becomes conviction
Addiction becomes conviction
Addiction becomes conviction

Favorite Quote:
Life isn't measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments which take your breath away.

You are only as strong as your weakest link.

Wow, a well-written and powerful poem, especially the repetition. Good job!
