Pendulum

Addictions are like pendulums 

How easily all of us are

Strongly held by them 

It's a fact ;well-known,

But getting rid of them 

Should be seriously done. 

They control our moods 

To lock us up inside

An enjoyable hood, 

We fall into their prey 

By running after various

Pleasures which are short-term

These are habits fuelled up

By our carelessness and insincerity

To test our integrity

What we do when no one's watching

That's when failing into their 

Clutches becomes so easy.

To get rid of these addictions 

One has to replace them with 

Productive habits; every now and then,

Just like brushing teeth every morning

Which doesn't have to be reminded of

Developing healthy habits will make you 

A winner in the long run.
