I believe all of us are addicts
to dopamine
our brain is wired that way
but when we think of “addicts”
it is almost as if we have separated ourselves from “them”
when we truly aren't that far away from one another
we forget to ask the question of why
why are they addicts
It’s possible that
life became too difficult to manage
the body found a way to stimulate the mind in such a manner
that it either numbed the constant pain
they experience when sober
or provided euphoric bliss
to a chronic state of numbness
