Language and Punishment

 Hello,  I happened to watch a documentary called 'Wisdom of Trauma' which moved me. It talks about how people take on addictions in the form of work, drugs, tobacco, sex, video games etc to feel better. People try to escape this reality which hurts them. The underlying intention of 'wanting to feel good/better' is what caught my attention. The escape that we choose, in my case I'd say I consume social media and also take writing as an escape from the reality. While this is unhealthy, but not demonised like other addictions, say smoking or drinking. I have been witness to what these addictions can do. And I realise why is it difficult to let go of these habits of escape. Help, addiction is but a cry for help. Next time, you use statements like 'I hate people who smoke/drink/do drugs', maybe think again. We tend to do self harm in different ways, but what we are in need of is help.

I do not necessarily like it

When the joker gets away with the final laugh and the teddy misses by a whisker When the crush of my friend has a crush on someone else When they know parts of him that I'll never know When they know parts of me that he'll never know When she is not as nice as he said she was When she is nicer than he said she was When he lets me be with my emotions When she lets me speak when I'd rather cry When someone calls me their bestfriend When lines that do not move me seem to move others so deeply When I get attention but not from someone that I want When I do not necessarily have a reason to not necessarily like something
