ADDICTION (BOOK I) : The Addicted

This is a descriptive dramatic poetry that aims to spotlight the plight of young handsome guy named Desmond who had been addicted to series of habits in a while and seeks out for a solution from this menace.
Peter Iyamah

Like the birds boxed into their nest cocoon;
i was compulsively engaged into this strange me recently!
when all hands on desk;
some muttering, others whispering and fewer grumbling;
as the morning sparrows on their morning duties,
each wondering my new adaptive state.
inwardly, i have wonder my hard stilled new makeup.

I turned my nostril,
into one newly established chummy,
elongated with an open end with much fumes emitted to the cloud,
probably to gratified my appetite;
what an "ADDICTION"
a pleasure with a pressure,
that gently ruined my future away form nature
what an addiction
within, my world of tradition.

Sooner! the change, changed my entirety.
I became the shadow of myself embodied
into a rewarding stimuli,
dripping many reactions flowing in rivers,
causing stigma with sweetness to my bones but bitterness in my brain.

Like an engaged locust on mission,
I was suddenly into an high-thrill cultural norm;
all a mystery to my fellows
whom appeared twice or double in my highness eyes at a time;
this time I discarded them in a zip zag method struggling to find my way out.
this was nothing other than
'the gambling game mix'
'the bed game in the dark with a fairly skinned'
the liquor I could called little competition
and 'the intake solid tablets mechanism'
became a new tenants
maybe contagious I could tell.

The addiction I was addicted to birthed me into fresh blood bathe,
painting my light into dark
and turning my floating papers i've envisioned into aimless goals
I could see the inscription
written on the dark wall with a red blood ink dripping slowly: "addiction", "addiction" and "addiction"
invisibly, a small still voice I heard:
Desmond, you're not left alone, stop the new norm now or never!
