Add Addiction

ADDICTION:
I am more than just a chemical reaction
I can be anything to use, get used to
A drag, a drink, a pinch, a habit
A step behind the lines that bar you
Quiet those daunting thoughts that haunt
As long as you live, I won’t leave
You can make excuses or choose “we” and relax

WRITER:
Longing for the blinds to go up
The darkness is a welcoming gift
Just me and the scenes I love
Dancing at the edge of light
Embracing the rituals and routines
On a cruise where everything else is funny
All the while, standing on quick sand.
