Addiction

 By Skye Bullock

-

I've been addicted to a lot of things, 

Drugs...

Love...

Alcohol...

But there is one addiction I've found that is worst than all the rest: 

Writing. 


Day and night, it haunts me like a withdrawal

Like love, I've ruined my life for it. 

I'm looked and have no interest in quitting. 

The doctors advised stopping. 

I cannot- I will not. 

Not until both hands have shaken beyond legibility. 


Thank god for voice-to-text.
