Poison

At some point the body turns, begins to feed off intoxicants. It needs something other than vitamins and protein to survive.
Maybe it's the caffeine, the tv, alcohol, or thc, "I only smoke when I drink" you tell yourself, but you drink all day.
Sunlight hurts, there's numbness in your hands, you bare the scars of years of abuse, on the outside and in. Was the extra cheese worth it? Did your supersize bring you comfort? Exercise, love, society, are all lost on this tongue.
Too much sleep, or insomnia. Calm the pain, or make it scream over all the other noise. Birds chirping, car alarms and ringtones. Infomercials. Pick your poison. Was the extra cheese worth it?
