Thank you, Maria. It was a spur of the moment creation. I find that a lot of unconscious personal truths reveal themselves in these sudden bursts of writing. I am not the person in the piece, but I know that parts of me relate to the emotions and ideas being communicated through it.
I wonder if you feel the same in some way.
Thanks again for reading.

I think this poem is thought provoking. I think this shows how addiction does not discriminate, but society does, especially when social/economic class and physical appearances are thrown into the mix.

Firstly, thank you for reading Joanmaris.
Now, I really appreciate what you shared, especially the way you shared it. The juxtaposition between a debilitating health issue, addiction, and the character of a society. You point out the irony of the former being, in a bizarre way, more equitable than the latter, when the latter is a complex of institutions whose purpose is to ensure the wellbeing of mankind. I think your critique about class distinctions is a fair one, as is your suggestion that physical appearance plays a big role in discrimination and marginalization.
