Addiction exists in realms of it’s own
the walls of which are hard to perceive
each are one yet separated
to each their own variegated misery
some filled with flowers and cake
the rest with broken vases and promises
you can strive to empathize
but no matter how genuine your efforts
it fairly ever gets received
—
So, try. Try, instead
to see the person behind their own judgement
in ways that they have lost to see
and desperately struggling to
for if there is a chance
it only lies in extending the light
the light of hope to the one who have lost their way
