I never knew I had an addiction
That giving it up caused such an affliction.
Unaware of apathy’s desire to seize,
It spread within me like a deadly disease.

Happily hooked on not having to care
It soon became a torrid love affair.
And when the high quickly died down,
In hopelessness I slowly began to drown.

Letting go of this addictive feeling
Reassures me that I am healing.
Learning to uproot my ungratefulness,
Begins with planting seeds of thankfulness.
