The precious lay in his skin
Burning his skin

Temptation
The defeater of will
The son of addiction
The corrupter of men
The conqueror of the mind
Precious
The target of temptation
‘’ one try ‘’
A phrase to common to him
A victory call for temptation
The leader to addictions army
His will crumbled down once again

Addiction’s army has won
Addictions has taken over
Addiction was not leaving
Other armies followed
Fear, anxiety and disparity
He was under control
Obeying addictions every command
While losing everything he had
Until

Strength
The master over mind
The farther of will
The bringer of hope
The opponent of addiction
The rebel

A battle took place
A battle not of weapons
But one that is much harder

Strengths army
Miniscule
Yet full of hope
The bringer of self control

Addictions army
Gigantic
Full of cockiness
The bringer of no control

Only one will prevail
