we're all addicts

we don't

think we do, but we all

have addictions

of some sort.

maybe

not drugs,

or alcohol, smoking,

but

there are other things

that melt

our butter

and help us through

the hard nights,

the lost days,

whether

food or sex, or some sort

of bling.

even love

can be an illusion,

a temporary fix

for what's gone wrong

as children.
