Comment from Lobber
Hi there
an interesting attempt to explain or define addiction. I take 100+ mg of prescribed morphine per day. Am I addicted? Am I in pain? Questions worthy of review at all times. - Lobber

Comment from mermaids
This is a vivid poem about how addiction progresses and takes over the individual. I saw while working in addiction, some do arrive at a point of apathy. "Slipping deeper into the murky quagmire" is a perfect use of words that accurately describes sinking deeper into addiction. You have written a poem that teaches readers exactly what the disease of addiction does.

Hi there, you describe so well how it must be to be in the grip of an addiction. It must be so hard, knowing that you do harm to yourself but you can't get away from it. A poignant poem. Ulla:))

Comment from lennis
You have accurately depicted the downward spiral of addiction and have given the reader an opportunity to feel the tension, the release of all care, the cross-talk that addiction uses to justify its use. "Slipping deeper into
the murky quagmire, trying to just stay afloat getting exponentially tired,
trapped in a discordant moat" Strong, metaphorical, impactful. Well done!

This poem is a gripping, moving, vividly descriptive blend of literal and figurative language. It conveys a profound message about people in the throes of addiction. Your rhyming is very creative.

Comment from flylikeaneagle
Badger: so many people fall into the pits of depression and don't care. You are an amazing writer with your poetry and emotions. I hope that this touches hearts to help people be on their feet. I've helped several ladies who became suicidal and I was hired to be their fun friend. I'm sure you have many reviews. God's blessings. flylikeaneagle

Comment from Irish Rain
So sadly true.
Addiction is above all things...
a liar.
Promising relief, leading to
only more need and hunger.
Beautifully written, I pray for all
who suffer addictions, wonderful if they all
could just walk away!
Blessings...

Badger--
I like a lot of this and think your rhyming is right or write on. I io not know what you are "addicted" to, but, for me, the worst, deadliest "addiction" is to "God" who supposedly saves you from all this. What hole are you trying to fill? I would like to see you look in that hole and examine what it is and what used to be there. My guess is you are attempting to "fill" it with drugs. My guess is your whole soul is missing. But, it does not help to do that if you do not, first, address the hole, what produced it, how to fill it. I cannot say much more than that -- but, consider, the plan that most "pimps" must have to maintain their line of addicts. You are trading a literal drug for a nonliteral drug without even examining the hole in your soul and how it got there in the first place. Do that please.

Dear Jeff, I've been addicted to dogs for f*** normal to the story of Joseph and his coat of many colors at the age of 8 reading my first birthday illustrated Bible. I hate your sound advice, but sometimes we have to go through the things that we go through remind us that God know and blesses us and gives us the strength you to overcome, but then sends us as office into the world to write things like this don't touch other people's lives.
Blessings,

I'm sorry. I do not follow your response. That may be what you intended. Obvious, you disagree with me. That's okay. My point of view only one. There are three four places in your response where you use words that...don't fit, like "offices" instead of maybe...officers? Don't know. You tell me.
Thanks

Yes there were Google typos in that response. I have been addicted to God, and he blesses me with some work abundance that even though I don't use all of the blessings for his will he still gives me more and more because I'm thankful and because I am following his plan for my life. I wasn't necessarily disagreeing with you just letting you know that even though I am a sinner, when I confess my sins to him he is just to forgive me of the sins and you keep on Blessing me because I hide in the shade have this right hand.
121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.121:2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.121:3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.121:4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.121:5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.121:6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.121:7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.121:8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. Psalm

A good theme to show the corruption one can cause to oneself. Thanks for the notes it helped in understanding. A powerful poem full meaning. Nicely thought out and presented.

Hello,
Addiction has always been around and probably always will. I was addicted to cocaine in the 80s but I have been clean and sober for 25 years. I like the Rhyming. Well done.
