DISEASE

I am your disease.

I hate meetings.

I hate higher power.

I hate anyone who has a programme.

To all who come into contact with me I wish you death and I wish you suffering.

Allow me to introduce myself, I am the disease of addiction, cunning, baffling and powerful that's 'me, I have killed millions and I am pleased.

I love to catch you. with the element of surprise, I love pretending I am your friend and lover.
I have given you comfort have I not, wasn't I there when you were lonely.
When you wanted to die didn't you call me and I was there.

I Love to make you hurt and I love to make you cry, better yet I love it when I make you so numb you can neither hurt nor cry, you can't feel anything at all and this is true glory, I will give you instant gratification and all I ask is long term suffering.

I've been there for you always, when things were going right in your life you invited me, you said you didn't deserve these good things and I was the only one who would agree with you. Together we were able to destroy all the good things in life.

People don't take me seriously but they take Strokes seriously, Heart Attacks, Diabetes, Aids, Sclerosis, Coma's, Psychosis, they take these seriously fools that they are, and they don't know that without my help none of these things would be possible.

I'm such a hated disease and yet I do not come uninvited you choose to have me.

So many have chosen me over reality and peace. More than you hate me, I hate all of you who have a twelve step programme. Your programme, your meetings, your higher power they all weaken me and I can't function in the manner I am accustomed to now I must lie here quietly.

You don't see me, but I am growing Bigger than ever.

When you only exist I may live, when you live I only exist, but I am here and until we meet again if we meet again, you choose.
