Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Too Used to Using

"Using Again," the same sad song

I used to sing as I did use.

A low down life I knew was wrong,

But nonetheless I chose to choose.

I promised all who cared about

Me using that just stop I could,

And would a while, then go back out.

At promising, I was so good.

Programs of self help, God and stuff,

Many told me could get me well,

But I never wanted enough

To pull me out of dug in hell.

I won't sing "Using Again," I

Am the latest user to die.
