Default I Need a Title

I am powerful over this
So
Called
Addiction.
I have come to this contemplation
Of addiction only
Because the word has been shoved down my throat.
Not until I changed did
I find what I was looking for.
Lost in the fields of disreality
Did I crave reality all the more.
The same reality they told me
I was running away from.
Theft lies in the past, and the ever approaching future.
Theft is not my admission to ill-controllable lifestyle,
More of a lack of moral compass.
Coming to terms with myself and
All
That
They
Say
I
AM NOT.
I find
What
I
AM.
Did the thought ever stream my consciousness?
How did they follow me here?
Am I really lost?
This higher power isn't helping at all.
Even as I understand it.
Powerful over my addiction
If it is even there.

I need a title for these lyrics, can anyone help me with this?

Honestly I think it needs a few more lines. As for a title....howabout "A Word"? Could be read as "a word" or "A, word"-as in addiction. Or maybe "A Craving"

I would say "Addiction". It's the one word that repeats throughout the song that has some sort of catch to it.

Good job!

I agree with Trick on "Addiction". Unless you want something more creative: A.D.D.I.C.T:

For some reason I like the title "Theft" It gets repeated in those two lines. But in an abstract way it also describes part of the theme of the lyrics if I understand them right.

If the above is true, then that title would represent the deeper meaning of the lyrics rather than just labelling it a song about addiction which sort of pigeon holes it.

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys. I'm liking "Theft" especially, that ties in perfectly IMO.
