Addiction

Abstaining from anything to satisfy, 
Defenseful even resorting to a lie,  
Denial - you stray further and further from staying true.
Intense pleasing reaction,
Cause of senseless selfish satisfaction,
Time is wasting because of you.
Irrational placement with other priorities,
Obsession, depression, now the authorities, and still…
Never plan to go without. 

This. Is. Addiction.
