Chapter 1 - Gamble

I like the feeling, the euphoria I get when I see the digits

The odds against me, taking the risk

The buzz I feel in my head when I do all the calculations

My only thoughts at those moments?- I want it all

Sounds greedy but so what , this is my high, this is my life, this is all I want

Spend it, all who cares

Everything in the line, so much to lose

Money on the loose

But that's just me

Wasted and drunk on this life

It's my dopamine rush

My favorite high

That's my favorite lie; I like this life

Who needs God when you can have all this money

Who needs that when you have the odds

Don't pester me with your so called religion I have bets to make and win

I have odds to calculate, nobody stop me

I'll ignore that voice, the voice telling me to stop , telling me to give this up, telling me it's too much

I'll mute that voice non stop

Do you feel your heartbeat, hear how loud it is when all the odds are stacked against you ?

Do you feel your hands shake!

Can you feel yourself trembling ?

You're playing with the flames of hell and you know that

When the odds are stacked against you and you lose

You lost it all , you lost everything and now you're starting to feel like you're nothing

Who's gonna help you?

I'm wasted, I'm lost

Do i really need help?

The aftermath of the dopamine rush

What happens when you've lost it all and you've got nothing to show for it

I feel like I'm dying

Is this what I've come to

Ragged and useless

I need escape

"No, you need help, My hand is here, out stretched for you"

"Take it , I will help you"

Who are You,why do You want to help me

Who am I to deserve your help

"You're my child" He said

I don't know what it was but I felt it deep in my heart

"Come now, hold on to me "

I'm dirty

"I'll cleanse you"

Can you really

"Yes "

I don't know what it was but I took His hand and I held on tight

He never let go and I never did to

It took a while but I realized i don't need that dopamine rush, that risk to feel happy

I just needed His word and that was more than enough
