I too felt sick, unloved, confused and a slave to my own personal hell
What is this thing –
This addiction that lies hidden in my belly
Hidden from the public’s eye
This grinding of organs and soul
This ache for happiness that is easily quenched by weakness
There is an imbalance from deep within
Somewhere between heart and mind lies my hope
My hope to be free from the shackles of mediocrity
To be free from suffering and self loathing
The first step is mindfulness
The next step is strength
Then conviction
Yearning to be normal again
Free from addiction
(you are human – it is okay to ask for help)
