I am as mysterious as you want me to be, yet I am as normal as any other teenage girl.
"It's okay to get help." Is this the equivalent to giving up? Giving in? Saying I can't do this on my own. I'm too ****** up to manage it myself. "I'm just escaping." Is this the equivalent to getting high? Getting drunk? Saying you're too ignorant to know what it's doing to your body. You're too miserable to live substance free. "It's the best release." Is this the equivalent to dying? Bleeding out? Saying that physical pain is better. Slitting your skin is the best solution for unwanted emotions. "I'm not like you." Is this the equivalent to being weird? Being different? Saying the entire human race should be just like you. Because you think you're ******* perfect. "Guess what?" You aren't and I do not want your help. I can manage on my own. No medication for me. I do not want your drugs and alcohol. I will keep myself clean. I do not need to escape. I will not slit my wrists. I prefer battle scars. Not self-inflicted wounds. I will be who I am because perfection is fake. Like you. So ***** you. Society. Peers. And "perfect" people. Because it's all a bunch of ******** I will do and be who I think I am. Without your micromanaging, you-only-have-two-options, "it runs in the family" nonsense. I do not need your pills and other substances to live my ******* up life. I think I will be fine on my own. But thanks for your consideration. Really, it's appreciated. Now **** off. And leave me alone.

Pills and Other Substances
Sadness could **** a willow tree. With its already drooping leaves. It would wilt away. Die silently. Sadness could **** a willow tree. Darkness invading beneath the canopy. It would wilt away. Die silently. Sadness has killed a willow tree. Wilted away. Just like me it has died silently.
