Affliction

My addiction has become my affliction.
During my life, there has been so much friction.

Such a painful price to pay, I say this with strong conviction.

Treatment is never where I wanted to be.

But in my sickness I couldn’t break free.

Let the truth be told, my addiction has gotten the best of me.

There was another center that turned me away.

But in the end it was Sacred Heart, that said for 30 days you are welcome to stay.

Today I have a brand new start, now it’s up to me to do my part.
