I never really understood how people became addicts.
I still don't.
How do you let something destroy you, yet smile so
widely when you get that fix?
I don't quite get the meaning behind it, how can something
so damaging, bring someone such immense pleasure?
So I did some thinking.....
I cried, just a little.
(empathies tears)
I screamed from the rafters.
(for all to hear)
I threw my fists up.
(high towards the sky)
I knew what mattered.
(I was no longer blinded)
I knew that I may never understand the needs of an addict.
But, I do know a little something about the needs of me.
My addiction, you ask?
Is simply stated:
Happiness.
