Addiction

As soon as cravings are soothed, pre-craving thoughts arise,
addiction is unsatisfied status rotating with only high.
one thought of needing, the dominant thought in mind,
until the fix supplied when all thoughts seem to hide.

The body needs what it does not need
fooling the brain believing the needing.

Believing you need 
what you do not need 
is psychology seeing you need it,
addiction. 

If you believe you have no need and can leave it, 
the psychology is defeated,
freedom.

But the body will still need, 
only time provides defeat,
so as the body demands its demand
demand the brain deny feed
