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
