Every desire
It was never an addiction.
It was only a desire to remove
Emptiness.
It was only a desire to forget.
It was only a desire to heal,
Turned to an inability to move forward.

I grew up
When i stopped wanting to be older.
And i died
Every time i remembered the girl i used to be.

Poetry is my cheap means of transportation. By the end of the poem the reader should be in a different place from where he started. I would like him to be slightly disoriented at the end, like I drove him outside of town at night and dropped him off in a cornfield.
