I'm not really a child anymore Though, in ways, I feel like I am? Because I was forced to grow up Well beyond my years Look after Mum Look after my brother Look after myself Look after the house Feed the pets Try hard in school, but fail And eventually stop giving a **** all together It just never seems to end Mum and Rick are on and off again There's still excessive drugs, music and alcohol in the house On the dining room table Of all places The ashtray over flowing with cigarette butts The walls covered in nicotine It's thicker now This seems normal I guess I'm finally used to it Or maybe I'm institutionalised A friend is at my house Rick keeps saying that she's cute Keeps trying to give her valiums and **** This makes my blood boil You're dating and living with my Mum What the actual ******* **** You're so much older than her What the **** is wrong with you?! Another pig to add to the list of men Or maybe it's the other way around (?) When will the list ever end Rhetorical question I'm roughly sixteen now I have issues with my memory Perhaps it's a coping mechanism To block certain things out I'm chatting to a guy from High School MSN Messenger He's older than me 4 and a half years But age is just a number in my head We talk We flirt We meet up We **** I'm the first from the group to lose their virginity The girls were shocked but somehow I'm not It was painful and beautiful simultaneously To this day it's one of my favourite times Despite the pain We were listening to Linkin Park With multi-media visualisations on At the time it was hot I was too scared to go on top One of our favourite bands We bonded over music I strongly believe The same taste in music is like a soul connection He was sweet Asked me for consent repeatedly Made sure I was sure Which made me like him even more He's still older than me So it's technically statutory **** I technically can't give consent But I don't care And I'll never report him I'm in love Still living at home Still hate it Still wish I was never born But I guess he makes life a little more bearable Dangerous maybe Exciting Risky Rebellious I'm hooked Hook, line and sinker Mum doesn't like him Because he's older Dad feels the same From miles and miles away But I don't care Home still makes me sad But it's a numb kind of sad now Like it's normal to feel this way I just accept it It is what it is Can't change it Just **** it up and deal with it Is my mentality So I spend a lot of time with him I'm drinking heavily now Smoking **** Ditched school and became a waitress Which the councillors didn't like at all But **** them I don't care Never got into smoking though Which is kind of a surprise.. **** is definitely the gateway drug Now I'm under-age clubbing Staying in hotels Room service What a rush Party drugs I love everyone! I love myself! I've never felt like this! This is the happiest I've been in my entire life Which is kind of sad Wish I could feel like this all of the time My eyes the size of golf ***** Chewing gum Eyes rolling in the back of my head Dancing like nobody is watching Day N Night by Kid Cudi playing And strobe lights It's all so ******* beautiful I feel alive for once in my miserable ******* life! For all the wrong reasons Drugs just numb everything I'm addicted to the numbing Next morning I feel like my brain and body has been completely drained of serotonin Miserable again, at best Dancing, ecstasy and love That's all I want Such sweet euphoria I want more Decide to double drop Bad idea.. Almost die in a fast food bathroom I'm scared to do that again For a while I just wanna be happy Numb myself I found myself chasing the next high Some drugs will take your ******* soul If you let it Never touching that again The morning after I wanted to jump off of the balcony Couldn't stop crying Looking over the edge A negative voice in my head with my voice Yelling at me While I'm looking over the edge "Just ******* do it" The voice is angry and sad I realise it's my ******* voice I never touched it again Once was enough I realise I'm on the wrong path The ultimate rebellion I've become an absolute hellion I figure I deserve a bit of fun And what's done is done I'm completely numb Wrong is right And right is wrong Maybe this is where I belong No going back To be continued ..
