Addicted to Mary Jane

Thu, 05/30/2024 - 18:26 -- ililley

I met her 6 years ago 

I tried to take her out of my life 4 times, falling back deeper than before 

She made me laugh, calm, hunger 

She made me numb, always wanting more 

It was the first hit that dazed me 

The second was too much

I kept going back for more, 

even when my body told me to stop

I'm over two weeks sober now, and want to continue that streak 

Mary Jane, I never liked your taste or smell,

But you made me addicted to the escape

I have finally escaped my addiction

And though I still love you,   

I won't let you to control me again
