Misuse

I've been sober for days,
and the urge
to use
is profound.

I've been using
people
more and more,
to sooth
the needle picking
at my skin.

They don't mind
to help out,
even if it's just to
take my mind
off having a relapse.

The messages keep me
in a state of reply,
responding to all
the social media platforms
has me wondering if
they truely care about me,
or about themselves
and how they'll feel
when I'm gone.

Do I write back,
or keep writing this note?

They say all great poetry has to rhyme,
I guess these words are what's keeping me from being great.
