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.

And i died
Every time i remembered the girl i used to be.

The bigger the issue, the smaller you write. Remember that. You don’t write about the horrors of war. No. You write about a kid’s burnt socks lying on the road. You pick the smallest manageable part of the big thing, and you work off the resonance.
