An Addict like

An addict like myself  first chose to get high for

different reasons really I started because I

am in the belief that experimenting with

everything is how you go through life at least

if you want to live it, I mean I wanted to

see for myself what the hype is all about I

mean a war? On the same people who have

created it? that is absurd like law enforcement

watching themselves no damn wonder we

have so many innocent people in jail, I mean

if you read the rico act they themselves should

be arrested and put away, they break more

laws that all of us combined they get pulled

over oh here is my badge so that means I get

a free pass a get out of jail for free card hell i

would shove that badge so far up their asses

they would need a partner to stick his head

up hey they do anyway ,so back to an addict

you see I have tried just about everything

including too much food, sex well that I

never get enough of so if anybody wants to

help, and porn I have made a lot

so in actuality I am director and act in my

own films so I would consider that a job

not a real problem see what I mean

excuses to make it sound more plausible

for those who out there listening to anything

i have to say, next we got gambling that I do

not have why waste money on a gamble

a maybe when I can give her the money

and it is a sure thing, so what my point is

addiction does not only mean drugs and alcohol

it could mean so many things in fact did you

know that most addicts are actually addicted

to more than one thing at a time, it is a disease

that nobody can cure because they

do not care or believe in it I mean before i

was an addict I never believed it because I

am what they call a functioning addict and

normal addicts do not like us because we give

them a bad name usually in a hypocritical way
see we break it down to names you have the

pill heads who think because a doctor can

prescribe them it is okay well no it ain’t

he said one a day not twenty-five

and pot heads hey smoke weed and get

by with the munchies and dope heads or

tweakers going one hundred a miles plus

like they are stuck in fast forward hearing

the trees whispering their name and we

have the junkies because they put junk

into their veins and well let me tell you

that is one high that scares the hell out

of me because I like way to much so I do

not do that very often just kidding are you

getting an understanding? Because I have

really just begun you see it is all a mind

altering getaway from the issues and problems
that are plaguing us all every day because

they give up to a world that does not care

about us anyways because if they did instead

shaming us and locking us away from

drugs they made in the first place a disease that

has no cure would you take a cancer patient

and throw them in jail NO so help us find

away to end addiction, that is all I am saying

now I am done talking about what an addict is

because knowledge is the Key to not getting

caught.:)

At least for me anyways
