Addictions and Compulsions

Addictions and compulsions
Can ever tempt one to recycle
But, there's a path for its expulsion
That breaks through this bad cycle

A compulsion to sin
Starts with a self-indulgence
That is concealed deep within
Through isolation as a fence

Save through a self-disclosure
This cycle won't end
There will never be closure
Unless the burden's shared with a friend

The blessing of acceptance and love
Come through repentance and confession
And petitions for help from above
While working towards progression

Believe it or not
It can be even better
Than ever before
As you are not a quitter
