I Mourn
November 30, 2017
I Mourn
Hear the knocking
Of the devil at the door
My head in my hands
My heart on the floor
One pack, two packs
Three packs, four
Asking myself
How much more?
Addiction kills
Of that, I’m sure
Damage to myself and my body
For that, I mourn

I have written this piece about addiction, a certain one specifically, and partially the reality of how it makes you fell. It can really be related to any type of addiction as well. Also, not being to able to understand why we choose those things or return to those things even when we don't want to. I personally feel like a lot of teenagers seem to have that problem. Turning to things we don't really understand.
