I want to drink
Because life hurts
Because all I feel is pain or numb
Because happiness escapes me
Because every smile is skin deep
Because my veins burn to be opened
Because I can’t laugh without feeling empty
Because maybe enough toxins in my blood
Can make me feel okay
Just for a little while...
I swear... there’s nothing good about being a depressed, anxious 20 year old surrounded by alcohol and people who drink to cope but won’t let you join in.... please, do one more thing to make me feel more left out I dare you.

Once I turn 21... if I still feel like this, I may never be sober again...
