I smell like the cigarette that I put out on my skin The sting's still there It turned to a bright red spot before it went black I smell like the **** that I smoked I need it to keep the voices quiet It turns my thoughts into clouds and my mood into water I smell like the liquor I drank I need it to feel alive I need it to feel like I am somebody I smell like the blood seeping out of my fresh cuts I need it to stay calm Without it I would lose myself in the eye of a noose Why do I need all these things to make me feel like I am somebody? Without them I turn into my biggest demons and I can't face myself for a second being like that. Why can't I just be like everyone else and find pleasure instead of escape in atleast 3 of these things. Why can't I stop being me?
