I’m An Addict
My name is Jay, and I was an addict for over two years,
You had me in your control,
You messed with my mind to the point that you owned my life,
All my time, money and energy was all directed towards you,
My friends became distant memories because of you,
My family turned their backs on me because you turned mine on them,
Yes, you did this,
You made it so you were my everything and nothing could take me from you,
Even though I broke the habit, I can't be normal,
Relationships never work because I try to make them my everything,
And they can't be that, that was only something you found normal,
My name is Jay, and I was an addict for over two years,
And now that I'm not,
I’m totally lost.
