I am an addict <br />if only an addict to myself. <br />I am insecure afraid <br />of never being loved by anyone else. <br />Afraid to quit <br />to give up that rope, <br />the one that I cling to <br />that gives me hope. <br />Petrified of gaining weight, <br />of becoming fat, <br />being a disgusting disgrace. <br />I am an addict <br />weak and sad. <br />An addict of my fears <br />I admit to myself <br />that's what I am. <br />Trapped in my head <br />looking for an antidote <br />to reverse the dread <br />I am an addict <br />locked up in myself <br />scared I'll never be truley loved <br />lost to everyone else.<br /><br />Heather Kemper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/addict-2/
