Word Junkie (with added verse)

I gave up the coffee
the cigarettes, the booze
this one last addiction
I can't seem to loose

I can no longer control
this obsession I feed
putting words onto paper
now consumes me with need

There's no 12-step program
for addicts of rhyme
Just you and the monkey
doing line after line

This pen is my needle
a word junkie's curse
the paper is screaming
for it's injection of verse

actually for me i liked it first try... short, but to the point... not really filler just for feeler. but thats why you know everyone has their opinions, and most likely they'll all be different. stick with how you like it. cuz you're a fuckin genious with your sharp pointed ink and reading the words you conjure is a fix.

I know i'm alone on this, but for my mind it's a case of, if it aint broken don't fix it. I completely related to the first version(as I do this) but if you're okay with suggestions, for absolute fluency; No 12 step program for addicts of rhyme, just you and the monkey, line after line.~just a couple of exclusion to free the flow, sometimes less is more, either way and regardless, I love it, well done.
