Addiction Is A Common Emotion
Poem
Becoming addicted to something really isn’t that hard.
It happens everyday.
People get addicted to cigarettes.
It seems innocent, until it kills you from the inside.
I am not addicted to cigarettes.
People get addicted to alcohol.
Drowning your sorrows is always easier than facing them.
I am not addicted to alcohol.
People get addicted to sex.
Sharing intimacy can make you feel less alone.
I am not addicted to sex.
Fear is a common human emotion.
It can become a familiar crutch.
I am addicted to fear.
