Many ways to get caught.

Fully utilizing
our arrogant doormat tendencies,
the inner addict
has a variety of
paths to lead us down.

We may not speak up
when it is required
because of one fear or another
or
we may say things
only to find we have
opened doors marked
"Do not enter - venomous serpents
toxic waste,
radioactive agents,
and unresolved issues
within."
