I’m breaking up with you, addiction.
You have caused me way too much pain.
You have driven me insane
and you’ve consumed my brain.
You’re just a big mess.
Made me feel less.
I’m free of
you and
blessed.

Addiction can be a struggle. I have one to chocolate at the moment, but I'd rather have that than deal with the worst addictions I have dealt with in the past!
Your words exude empowerment and offer a beacon of hope for those on a similar path, excellent work, love it, thanks for sharing!
So true , we become more addict to the people than any meds...right??
Amazing, let go of negative energy
I’m sure a much needed break -up for many! 😊
Nice poem, straightforward breakup.
