The forbidden
Used
As a way to connect with life
Outside the norm.
To converse emotionally
To be complete and whole
In such a direction
Untrue, a lie.
As to understand something
Someone else had said
An unhealthy grasp on reality
Almost
An addiction.
Safer than what
Happen in the now.

Comfort
When not at 80%
Lower even.

Again, those polar opposites
That speak.
It gave a sense of alertness.
