drunk texts
im not the girl that parties with strangers on friday nights to drown her broken past with a large bottle and a little white pill im not the girl that sends scandalous pictures by night and wears a pristine uniform by day for her picture perfect parents im not the girl that appears okay with the sun but after the moon comes out her porcelain skin is bloodied and bruised from her own monsters no, im not that girl. so who the hell am i to you?

who am i?
its an epidemic of sickeningly perfect parallel red lines its an epidemic of sweatshirts pulled far over hands and pants too long for the weather its an epidemic of numbers too high almost as high as ponytails of girls on their knees in bathrooms its an epidemic of fake smiles of two coats of foundation over a red splotchy face; finish it off with waterproof mascara to hide the stains its an epidemic i know you know of it too
