Addicted

I have been incarcerated inside my body for 21 years. I have seen a lot of people doing a stretch. A lot of them are innocent and are convicted of not letting go. There’s so many things that can cause your conviction, Now that I’m free and thinking more clearly, I’m taking a long walk and not looking back. 

I stayed to learn a hard lesson: Beware of dogs in men’s clothing. When he saw me, his job was always to conquer and destroy. He did his job, and I did mine. He’d been incarcerated since he was younger, so how could he help me? If you are weak, how can you make me strong? 

I can’t say I regret my incarceration. All of these things that happened to me made me airtight, making me aware of a different fight. My sight is not good, but I can see when someone is not sent for me. 

We’re not two peas in a pod. I don’t think he knew the extent of my incarceration. I was supposed to do a life sentence. 

Rehab 

Your smile is intoxicating. If I knew magic, I would turn you into fine china, so I could dust you. Your body reminds me of expensive chocolate. I can’t argue with you, it really makes me blush. You catch on, shake your head, and smile. When you touch me, I’m ready to let you clean my bank account out. I’m injected with our conversations. Every time you introduce me to something new, it makes me aware this addiction to you is for a lifetime. If I had to detox off you, I would go through withdrawal. I will not have anyone come between what we have. I will never seek rehab. I love to share this love.
