The itch

It’s an itch I can’t not scratch

A scab I can’t not pick

A hunger I have to feed

An addiction that I need

A dream I have to realise

A debate I can't not join

A race I have to run

An obsession I can’t drop

A habit I can’t break

A love I have to win

A risk I have to take .....

..... A life I have to lose
