Addictive Behavior

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!
