Everyone is addicted to something that takes the pain away;
Something that makes them feel so numb after feeling so hurt.
Some use alcohol,
To drink away their sorrows and doubts.
They drink to forget and to get away from their monsters.
Some use cigarettes,
To get their sense of control back into their life,
After feeling like they have been taken over by their demons.
Some use razors,
To feel a different kind of pain,
A kind that is different from the ache of their heart.
Some use sleep,
To escape the constant, overwhelming, suffocating hurt
That does not ever seem to leave them.
We are all different as humans,
But our hearts and souls are the same.
We are all addicted to something,
Anything,
That takes the pain away.

This is a very powerful piece. You are able to evoke a lot of emotion from readers by using the details you have. It is true, we are all different as humans, and people use different coping mechanisms to deal with the pains that surround our lives.
