King Baby Revisited

I think every alky-addict has some king baby traits.
There is the emotional growth stunting, selfishness,
immaturity and insecurity.

Of course the world centers around us; we want what
we can't have, and want it now.
Since alcohol or drugs are a comfort and companion,
we are very resistant to giving them up.
No matter how destructive and isolating addiction gets,
we are the last to see or feel it.

The dishonest and sneaky habits we used are similar
to childish behaviors from early on to get our own way.
King baby feels immune to the accountability and
responsibility of acting their age.

lastly KB resorts to acting out by crying or screaming
to get their wants heard.
