Addictive Behavior
Is what we savor because that’s all we know
as we grew and into this life we go; our wheels we spin
never understanding the “Family Of Origin”; all the while
The Lost Child; Keeping a low profile
Being Dependent; is how we’re most content
Or a Chief Enabler; - For those around us; making it better
A Family Hero; perfectionist never to be the zero
The Scape Goat; the load we always tote
A Mascot; never taken seriously cause with the jokes we never stop
Which part are you, in this family tree? The root, trunk, branch, or leaf, no matter your part; with you is where it starts you best believe
By beginning to see; with your mind’s eye; D.E.N.I.A.L.
(Doesn’t Even Notice It’s A Lie)
Then you begin to ask yourself why this addictive behavior I savor.
But why ask why when you D.E.N.Y. (Don’t Even Notice Yet)
How soon you forget
the signs in the road that says “I told you so”
Yet and still we go of the beaten path with holes in our shoes
Hearts minds and souls bruised from Addictive Behavior you choose.
Then complain about the heartache/pain in your feet, back, neck.
We just laugh at you and say “what the heck;” did you expect
when you continually favor your Addictive Behavior!
