Addicted

POEM

In pain's embrace, I sought relief,
Pills promised solace, sweet and brief.
Injured and hurting, I welcomed their aid,
Unaware of the trap in which I'd laid.
Each little tablet, a soothing balm,
Numbed the ache, brought a sense of calm.
But beneath the surface, unseen and sly,
Addiction's shadow began to pry.
Day by day, I reached for more,
Unknowingly stepping through addiction's door.
Blinded by need, I failed to see,
The chains of dependence tightening on me.
The pills became my constant crutch,
Without them, I felt I couldn't touch
The semblance of normalcy, the illusion of control,
But deeper into darkness, I began to fall.
Lost in the haze of medicated bliss,
I missed the signs, dismissed the abyss.
Trapped in a cycle, unable to break free,
From the grip of pills that held onto me.
Yet amidst the struggle, a glimmer of light,
A chance for redemption, to set things right.
With courage and resolve, I'll find my way,
Breaking free from pills' relentless sway.
