Pills for your brain
alcohol for your troubles
the perfume of tobacco
The thrill of the hunt
the ecstasy of sex
the pride of wealth
Chasing dreams
pursuing excellence
rigorous routines
Scrolling through phones
browsing the web
mashing buttons on livestream
Binging shows till your eyes ache
blasting music till your ears bleed
indulging in temporary distractions
Forming connections
caring for animals
fighting for a cause
Spending it all
thrifting for deals
gambling with your life
Thrill-seeking
fetishized deviancy
running with the wrong crowds
Taking risks
collecting useless trinkets
throwing yourself in harm's way
Arguing with strangers
the thirst for attention
thriving on validation
Stuffing your face with food
working till you drop
masturbating your stress away
We're all addicted to something
