Read "Addiction’s Rage" poem by Jhantu Randall

Look closely!

Don’t try to wipe the image clean

Quit bullshitting!

You know you can clearly see

Dancing with the devil in the form of relapse

When it comes to the drama of the situation

The women, the whole package 

You’re too weak to run, standard addict!

Crazy, self-made situations that hold plenty of baggage

Desperately convincing yourself none of it is yours to claim

Don’t get caught up in that challenge 

Thinking you're good?

Here it appears to throw off your balance 

Possesses the ability to cut deep while simultaneously striking you

It’s an all out assault leaving all involved black and blue 

Ravaged from rage

Shattered, battered and bruised 

A fatal attraction that holds a twisted, seductive kind of love for you
