Mental Distortion

This a poem that I wrote several years ago about my past struggles with drug addiction.

What's the purpose of all this?
Forever caught in this search
For a legendary bliss
Can't seem to fight the demons
I hear their endless echoes

Bouncing off the walls of thought
Frozen in the chaos of a tortured mind
Shadows always leaving me behind
My body and mind seem so corroded
As my soul has rapidly eroded

Suddenly Satan's medicine arose
But, it left nothing but a bruise
Just another example
Why my life is but a ruse
Thought this would lead the pain to diffuse

What a fool I was!
God's word is the only one
That ever said
The answer to all that
Serenity was
