Antidote

My poison feeds me
halts me and leads me
cuts me open on the insides
devastates my own pride
dictates my fears
controls my mind
takes me round in circles
steals my time
my pain's greatest source
my inherent driving force
boths the hungry ocean
and the safe ship afloat
My poison...
remains its only antidote...
