Addicted.

The weight of my thoughts;

This “pain” that I feel;

I wonder how much of it

Truly, is real.

 

Neglecting my health;

I seek comfort in vices;

Like cannabis, or nicotine.

But at least I’m not a drunk.

 

Yet I find myself in pain;

Itching for a taste;

For a glimmer of solace.

Just a promise of peace.

 

What am I craving?

What am I yearning for?

So I can feel high?

Or because I’m just bored?

 

I need something.
