Poetry Addiction

Why? Why? 
I can never make it end.
Must read as much as I can.

No! No!
What message does this send?
I am thankful for my writing friends.

Ever consuming
The urges of wanting more, no sleep.
This keeps me going, but is it bad?

So overpowering
The messages I read and then keep
Is enough to drive anyone mad!

Why? Why?
Should anyone really ever ask.
We’re all addicted to this writing bug.

Stop! Stop!
Never, I say to you all because
Each poem reads like a warm, embracing hug.
