It Only Takes Once

It only takes once.
One cut,
One purge,
One meal cut,
One hit,
One life attempt,
One drink,
One needle,
One snort,
One smoke,
One look,
One thought,
To start the battle of a lifetime addiction.

These acts begin to spread into a deadly fire eating you from the inside out until there’s no reason other than to get that high.
It starts out with a reason for every time you feed the fire
But then the reasons go away.
Now all you want is that
Pain,
High,
Puff,
Suffering.

Your thoughts are demons attacking you.
Demons you can’t escape.
It only takes once to begin an addiction for life.
