I am an Addict
Nanda Regine
I am addicted to the reassurance I never had as a kidThe security of a home,Something that was never guaranteedI am addicted to the freedom that was never targeted at meNow its arrow is aimed at Mom and ISomething I thought I'd never seeBut my mindMy mind is in rehab for my drug, I call it PainWhen danger was roaming freePain stayed with me and I went insaneMom cried and my drug remained, the future was hard to seeRealisation dawned on me, like the sun chasing the nightMy cure was right in front of meMy mother, my only light
