ADDICTION

Its as easy
To abuse a person
As to abuse a substance
To become addicted
To a particular prism
Through which to view oneself
I breathe deeply
And try to let go
Of the compulsion I feel
To connect incessantly
And learn to carve independent space
For my own thoughts and feelings
Breaking any habit
Is a ruthless challenge
But only in balance
Can we find peace
And free connection
