Something dangerous if long-lasting.

Something beneficial if overcome.

It can kill or build you.

Teach or break you.


Split-second decisions can make it worse.

Paranoia and confusion allows it to fill you.

It drives you mad and consumes you. 

One of life's greatest gifts or a curse.


It draws in hate, yet bears essential fruit: caution.

It prohibits actions, yet allows a great sensation: freedom.

It isolates you, yet helps you realize a necessary high: euphoria.

It can drain you empty, yet without it you wouldn't know what it means to be full: satisfaction.
