Her Addiction

From across the room it calls to her,
She fights off the urge to give in.
Her hands shake,
Sweat drips down her face.
The pain is bearable,
But the pills allow a release.
Shes grown to depend on them,
An addiction she is trying to break.
Too many times she has opened that bottle and taken relief from it.
Her family has no idea the grip is so strong.
Then again they dont know she is given more powerful drugs from someone else.
For a while she took every pill given to her.
One day she looked in the mirror and didnt know who she saw.
She was now an addiction instead of a girl.
Slowly she breaks herself.
When hurting her mom would offer her relief.
Adament refusal for the pain is the only way to break the cycle.
Now even tylenol scares her,
The thought of relying on medication to function is terrifying.
But oh when the pain is unbearable,
She remembers her old relief.
Relief that will call to her forever,
But never again get the best of her.
