society destroyed her
but they said it was for her benefit
to learn how to discern
that no one was concerned about her well being
and instead of trying to learn her
beautiful, chaotic head,
every guy that sees her just wants to get to know her body in bed,
but don't forget that society
"knows what's best"
and they fed her pain
that they said only alcohol could drain
and at one point someone heard her once say that she was no where close to okay
so they told her that sometimes death
is the only way to deal with the devastating mess that society has made
but refuses to address
so she took a blade to her skin
because society told her that it was the only way to win the battle against herself in the end
and society watched on with misleading delight as she lost control of herself
pills became the only thing that made her mind still and alcohol was the only thing that seemed to fill the holes that society had drilled right through her. depression consumed as society assumed position to continue telling her exactly who she's supposed to be and what she's supposed to think. and when she looks back, she wonders when things got so bad and why "friends" tried so hard to make her sad and take everything she ever had. so when she couldn't find an answer for her crippling life, she finally accepted societies best answer
which happened to be suicide.
