Addiction Is A Virtue
I can stop at any time,
I don’t need it.
I just want it.
The needles, the pills…
The crystal, the shrooms…
The dust, the dragon…
My tabs, my acid…
My herbs and my rock…
I like the warmth,
The comfort.
It’s beautiful, you see.
They’re fulfilling.
Look at my pupils,
How large and lovely.
These pricks on my skin?
They’re fine.
I bet I can out smoke you.
My bills?
They’ll get paid.
Addicted?
No.
I can stop at any time.
(That time just isn’t now.)
