Detox

You’ve become an obsession.
No longer an affliction
but a full blown addiction,
that will cost me everything
if I don’t stop.
But how can I?

My mind screams obscenities,
scolding me about the enemy,
you have obviously become.

My dependency stokes my fragile psyche,
reminding me of the euphoria I feel
from the high you give me.
Though you’re the root of my self destruction,
you provide me with comfort and security.
How could I betray you?

The part of my mind that doesn’t like me,
has held me captive for way too long.
Changes have to made before insanity sets in for good.

The time has come to purify the mind,
body and soul you have contaminated.
You’re toxic.
I can no longer allow you access.
Permission to dump your waste has been denied.
It’s time to clean up my environment.
