My dad told me that "there are other fish in the sea" My teacher said I could make up the test My mom taught me how to separate colored clothes in the laundry My big sister showed me how to tie my shoes I taught myself how to fake a smile I told myself not to take too many pills I trained my body to stay positive, even on a "low" day I forced myself to keep my cool even when it is on the edge The things you need in life aren't given to you by your loved ones you are the only one who can prepare you for what is to come

life lessons
do you like it when i crave attention? is this what you want? do you purposefully ignore me in hopes that i crawl to your feet begging for acknowledgement? do you go to bed thinking of ways to neglect me further? how is it that with everything i do, i'm never good enough to bring up in conversation? should i starve myself in hopes that you notice me? does failing a class get your attention? will you talk to me if i try to end my life? will i ever be good enough for you? will you ever tell me if i am? can you spare the heart ache now and let me leave? how many nights will i go on thinking of ways to push myself farther into your peripheral view so that i am in focus?

"unconditional" love (for my parents)
I need a cigarette not because i smoke but because: I want to inhale something other than your toxic words I have to feel something between my lips other than the absence of you I require a new stench than the one you left when you walked by I desire a new byproduct other than loneliness I need to have something that will **** me before you do

give me pain, if that's what's real
maybe if I liked sports maybe if I was bigger maybe if I watched more football maybe if I could talk cars maybe if I played baseball maybe if I worked out maybe if I had a deeper voice maybe if I ate more steak maybe if I made fun of the disabled maybe if I listened to rock music maybe if I expressed interest in war maybe if I disrespected women maybe if I was more like you maybe if I was less like me maybe if I wasn't me at all maybe then you would care about me dad
