addiction, as defined by Merriam-Webster, means: persistent compulsive use of a substance known by the user to be harmful
it was a tickle in my throat that I couldn’t quite taste
occasionally it was a thought that lingered in my mind and kept me awake
but somehow it grew uncontrollably until it left me in its wake
now I look in the mirror trying to find myself but I’m gone
that thought that danced in my back of my mouth like a song
demanding me to do more than just sing along
it made me dance to the beat of a broken soul
and now I’m clawing at any remnants of me that it’ll let go
but I’m pretty sure my fate is no longer my own
