Monochrome Rainbow [✔️Completed]

ADDICTED

Pills for your brain 

alcohol for your troubles 

the sweet perfume of tobacco 

masking the undeniable rot 

stewing beneath your skin 

The thrill of the hunt 

the ecstasy of sex 

the hollow pride of wealth 

all chasing a high 

that never lasts 

Dreams become addictions 

perfection becomes a drug 

rigorous routines 

become chains 

you refuse to see 

Scrolling endlessly 

browsing empty feeds 

mindlessly mashing buttons 

on lifeless livestreams 

to drown out your own silence 

Binge TV until your eyes ache 

blast music until your ears bleed 

gorge yourself on distractions 

because the overwhelming quiet 

is unbearable 

You chase connection

but stay addicted to loneliness

ignoring what you already have

you give yourself to causes

just to avoid giving yourself to yourself

You spend recklessly 

you gamble for dopamine 

you flirt with self-destruction 

because risk feels more alive 

than stillness ever did 

We're all addicted to something 

substances and screens

validation and pain

drama and escapism 

exploitation and hollow purposes 

Addiction isn't a flaw 

it's the desperate art of coping 

in a world 

where sobriety often feels

like divine punishment
