Craving

The cravings
and past
like a huge machine
that chews you up for years
and spits you out the other end
with not so much as a “good bye
good luck
you’ll be alright”
the light at the end of the tunnel
is blinding
and when you come out the other side
you are discombobulated
confused
and disoriented
always ill prepared
for a new environment
but fighting for the soul
within the body
is a valiant undertaking
a heroic task
that is not only done for your sake
and it is terribly uncomfortable
and sometimes
usually
it is some unknown force
that propels you
urges you towards and out the other end
and you stand up
asking
what the hell happened here.
