ADDICTED
One more paycheck and one more wasted night
Don’t bother to think you could call this all right
Another night away from the children and spouse
More time not caring for the others in your houseNo one can ever tell you what you should do
Yes, the choices you make are all up to you
You think you have the right to spend all day
You think you have the right to throw it awayYour spouse is home worrying about the bills
You’re wasting money and getting your thrills
You don’t give a damn about groceries or rent
Your children go hungry, as the money is spentThere should be no compassion offered to you
But that is what the public always seems to do
That poor soul is all the people seem to say
How sad that he is throwing his life awayBut forget for a moment the one wasting the cash
Just for luck of winning money or going on a bash
Forget for a moment that the person is afflicted
The family is broken up because someone’s addicted
Good poem sad but true.
Turn it around poem would be a nice sequel❤️
Thanks. I had a good day today and made the right decision on the way home. I was visiting family and a brother said he had won $2500 at the casino yesterday. I had to make myself drive past the turnoff on the highway to avoid going there on the way home. I knew if I made it past that turnoff that I would not take the next one available because I would be too late getting home. My sister asked me to text when I got home and she would be concerned if it was over 90 minutes. I got home in less than that and texted her and all of my money was still in my pocket, not some machine. I WON THIS ROUND!!!
Okay, you asked for it to be turned around. I just wrote this.
THE RECOVERY
The paycheck came home this night
You decided to do what was right
Enjoying the children and the spouse
Tonight there´s happiness in the house
The choice tonight is all up to you
So you do what you should do
You work too hard during the day
To just go out and throw it away
Your spouse uses the money for bills
Instead of you getting your thrills
You´ve bought groceries, paid the rent
Fed the children, the money is spent
Making changes day by day
Slowly but surely is the way
It´s imperative to rebuild trust
That´s the thing that is a must
You´ve agreed you have an addiction
That troubled life caused much friction
Though it won´t be that easy to do
The change can come only from you
Rebuild hope, rebuild dreams
Life is better than it seems
You´re on the right path tonight
Just by trying to make things right
It´s more than a change of heart
You´re giving your life its new start
Now you have goals you can share
For tonight you showed you care
Nice perfect words thank you!
You´re welcome and thank you!
Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome.
