Addictions' Afflictions

Favour the mind’s choice when young
on paths led astray, and re-led back,
forgiving mistakes of friends and family,
growing within, from strengths
and many more such weaknesses,
from enemies found within,
emerges courage, pure
affliction dies young
with just addiction living to live
casts a spell only will can break
proving that addiction is just,
another stone to step on.
