Purgatory

Knowing it’s wrong
But wanting it anyway
It’s been so long
Almost a day
Feels like a year
The needs make me
Filled with fear
Oh my god can’t you see?
The inner war
To not give in
Through it’s strong call
It’s a strong sin
This addiction
Removes all diction
The need pulling me
Like the strong tide
Being strong is key
The time’s mine to bide
Tired and sick
This addiction is like a tick
Sucking on my strength
But too what length?
Laying on my bed
Wishing I was dead
The need is stronger
I’m not gonna last much longer…


And now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep. And if I die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take.

this poem's really touching...

Heaven is not that place where you go when you die... it's that time in your life when you actually feel ALIVE!!!
