one | pity

everybody is addicted to something.
and it always takes some form of pain away.
so maybe people smoke, drink, or swallow pill after pill.
or slice at their skin—despite how pointless that is—or talk down to themselves.
but those are only the negative addictions.
people read, write, draw, and create masterpieces with music notes.
they dance, and sing, and give back to their communities.
yet, there's always an overwhelming sense of pity circulating throughout the world.
everybody sympathizes for the kid with the addiction.
the addiction that isn't as happy as their own.
because they're broken, aren't they?
