Rob me blind.

I've been robbed I've been robbed But not of money, cars, or clothes I've been robbed Not by a person, place, or group But by a simple prescription That faster than I could realize turned to addiction I've been robbed Of time, love, and life Years are gone Relationships shattered And trust that's broken I've been robbed Of self worth, self esteem and self respect And everyday I'll continue to be robbed Until I choose to rob the addiction of the hold it has on me

Jojo, West Virginia
