I am not addicted to drugs


I am not addicted to alcohol 


And I am not addicted to playing with men for the fun of it


I am addicted to my own self destruction 


I am addicted to listening to sad music even when I’m not depressed so I can cry until my tears run out


I am addicted to downing five melatonin’s and still being wide awake hours later because my mind refuses to turn off


And I am addicted to cutting off my friends when I feel myself slipping into an episode as to not burden them with my problems 


But we’re all addicted to something 


For some it may be drugs or alcohol


And for others it may be self destruction 


It’s not a matter of what we are addicted to


But a matter of how quickly it ruins us
