I'm terrified of the dark, but I snuck out of my house every night for weeks
Because I thought it would make them like me better.

I went weeks on 1 hour of sleep
Walked into my house at 6:30 and got ready for school
Because I thought it would make them like me better

Got so drunk that all I remember is splashing around in the toilet because my elbows had already fallen in
And slapping Colin in the face because I didn't like the way the blanket felt on my half naked skin
Because I thought it would make them like me better

Fought a 3 day hangover
Because I thought it would make them like me better

****** a guy I barely knew because we needed a ride
It didn't matter that I already had a boyfriend
Because I thought it would make them like me better

All I ever got back was tears as I sit, dripping wet, in nothing but a towel because he said he was going to **** himself.

Stayed up until 4 AM because he said he was going to drink himself to death because he broke up with my best friend

He still said nobody cared about him.

He stood me up on every plan we have ever made
And that's when you know to drop a friend.


But he did share his mac and cheese that one time.
This is a spoken word poem so it's not really any good if read and not peformed...
