Afflicted With Addictions Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Afflicted with addictions to me that are given.
And...
More I've noticed,
I'll never overdose.

Afflicted with addictions I know to me that are given.
And...
On them focused,
To be happy them I chose.

Loving others,
I can't get quite enough.
I use to think before that love was just too artificial.
Loving others,
I use to think before...
People would believe me weak,
If I showed them love that deep.

Now I know that what I've got,
Can't be stopped.
And now I know that what I've got,
People want a lot.
But...
They want to get it.
Although they can't give it.
They want to get it quick,
To hit it then be done with it.

I'm Afflicted with addictions,
Of happiness, peace and love.
A willing victim,
Of happiness, peace and love.

Afflicted with addictions to me that I know are given.
And...
More I've noticed,
I'll never overdose.

Afflicted with addictions I know to me that are given.
And...
On them focused,
To be happy them I chose.

I'm Afflicted with addictions,
Of happiness, peace and love.
A willing victim,
Of happiness, peace and love.
