When I was gambling,things were bad but now gamble free, i wanted to write how it affected me.
The secrets the lies the hidden addiction,
Clouded my mind with poisioned affliction.
Moods dark then suddey up,
But all from either good or bad luck.
The times I won were actually the worst,
All other things were forgotten for my winning thirst.
Study left, work half done.
All i could think there is another session to be one.
My mood happier but very distracted,
Pictureing the winning number on which the ball has landed.
Then comes the loses money and more,
Relationships and friends you had are there no more.
Lonliness and darkness sets in,
And once again I wake up with cuts on my skin.
Peeling the blood soaked shirt off my skin,
Is a stark reminder of what my darkness has done.
The pain is a comfort like an old friend,
But if I stay in his company it will be my end.
Now that the scars have healed,
I am focused more than ever on an academic feild.
Study is going well new friends have been made,
The self destructive bed is no longer laid.
By sharing this I want to say,
Trust me to be gamble free there is a way.
Hope is never lost depts can be paid,
New relationships will come and a happy life can be made.
