Why Do Bad Habits Feel So Good?

Chocolate on my tongue
oozing sweetness
thickly comforting warmth
soothing unkind words to self
compassion cloaked without skin
contained in crumbs
filling spaces gorged out by cruelty
bad habit compensates

Thank you to Aaska Aejaz and her fun prompt word “habits” on Chalkboard for one line poetry prompt this week.

Just as a Habit!
