The addict's mind is forever spinning, turning <br />Bobbing, weaving, feinting, swerving <br />Reason tries to land a punch, no chance <br />The addict's mind can really dance <br /> <br />When Reason says in calm and measured tones <br />That addiction will sink you, like a stone <br />The addict's mind skips away <br />It doesn't want to hear that today <br /> <br />It cannot comprehend at all <br />That the only time it has a ball <br />Is after it has suffered misery <br />After it has been frantically, desperately <br /> <br />Pining for some silly drug <br />It just cannot see it is a mug <br />Because it dodges with expert skill <br />Each time Reason comes in for the kill<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-addict-s-mind/
