Not when I'm home, with family

Not when I'm out, partying.

Not when I'm home, all by myself

Not when I'm out, drinking with  "friends"



The bandage is gone,  

Now I can see

I need to learn,

My true friend is me



Not when I should

Sometimes when I shouldn't

Not with the therapist

Not with a crowd

Not with my mom

Not without

Not on social media

Not on the streets

Not in my car

Not in the dark

Not in the light

Nor anytime

Only with strangers

That aren't so strange

I feel like I might

Give life some sense
