Dopamine Detox

I’m constantly looking for a dopamine surge

I want to constantly be on the verge

Of another novel experience, my everyday life appears

Too monotonous, to have to live in boredom I fear

Sometimes I get my stimulation from travel or from a book

But unfortunately most of the time I tend to look

At my devices and scroll randomly through content

On social media sites, to curb my craving to some extent

*

I know a “dopamine detox” is what I need

It has to start with social media indeed

All other ways of getting a dopamine high

Are less accessible to me, and that is why

I should get off facebook, instagram and X

And my dormant creative muscles flex

To find something more tangible to do

That curbs my craving for dopamine too
