"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
*******.
And leave me
alone.
