Substance Abuse.

I could explain to you the exact process by which my Brain craves something more, It begs for Dopamine, Seratonin and other such delicious chemicals, It gives me sunshine, when the rain pours through the crack in my window, I gives me happiness, when my psyche wanders to it's bad old ways. Is there more to life than the things we perceive with our primitive organs? I'm not so sure. So i fill my bloodstream with these potions that make me see beautiful things, So i fill my lungs with the acrid taste of fantasy, So i fill my veins with hope, and dreams of when i was happy, So i fill my head with the notion that i can stop whenever i want, And deprive my Brain of this reality, in the hope it will give me something more appealing. A wise man once said, that only a life lived for others is worth living, And so i find myself worthless, bathed in glorious hedonism, Alone in my palace of dreams.
