You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness...?

But maybe it not really sadness for a reason.

What if you've just been hurt a lot so the feeling becomes normal.

You know; that sad feeling?

It's not really sadness you show either.

It's not a sadness where you cry all the time and you're always frowning.

You hide the sadness with smiles and laughs.

Convincing yourself you're completly fine.

You get used to it.

Or maybe it's not the kind of sadness where you have a reason to be sad.

You just are.

You don't want to see anyone

or talk

or eat

or do anything.

Maybe we get so used to feeling this sadness in a way we are addicted;

because that's all we know?

But maybe it's not necessarily the sadness we get addicted to.

Rather,

what we do to stop the sadness.

Maybe we really just get addicted to whatever is going to **** the pain at the end of the day.

Or maybe that pain at the end of the day is what's going to cause us to finally feel something;

because we've been numb for so long.

We arn't necessarily sad, but we arn't really happy either.

We just are.

But maybe at the same time maybe we are sad.

And we're sad because we numb,

and we don't care anymore.

But maybe we should care?

Becuase when we don't care we tend to hurt others.

But they hurt us so why not hurt them?

I mean, isn't it only fair they feel the same pain.

Or maybe...

We all have secret addictions no one knows.

The title is a verse from a song. I was listening to it and it just stuck out at me. I dont know why.
