Challenge
Resisting
Tell me about a time when you had to restrain yourself from addiction or habit. It can be fiction or nonfiction. I have recently found myself lacking any restraint and I wish to read about those who have overcome an addiction to strengthen myself.
minutes
3:00 a.m.
I want him.
My mind numbs away
as my body takes control.
Foretting all sense,
my feet walk to his door.
3:10 a.m.
He opens the door,
expecting me.
I would have left.
But I need the high.
I should know better than to leave.
Good thing he takes care of me.
3:11 a.m.
He puts it on the table.
I know what I need to do.
I strip my clothes away,
get on his body.
Payment.
3:30 a.m.
He tells me,
in a newfound sweet voice,
that the drugs are mine to take.
I reach for them,
but my mind turns back on.
3:31 a.m.
Not caring that I'll regret this in the future,
I spin and run out the door.
My body hurts.
I need the drugs.
But I keep running.
So do I really need them after all?
