Addiction’s Salve


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

hope to the sailor, lost in sea.
