The Drug

Don’t fight the drug 
You will never win 
If you take it head on 
It will always be stronger than you 

Let it have its place 
To one side of your inner space 
While you keep on doing 
What you’ve started to do 

Stay true to the goal 
And hold tight to the rope 
Of self-care and love 
That has been thrown down to you 

And name the real need 
Along with the matching deed 
That will feed it in a healthy way 
While nourishing your soul too 

Then someday you will find 
There is nothing left to fight 
Because the drug that use to rule 
Has lost its power over you
