Influenced.
Having no self control.
Being weak.
Being a follower.


Influential.
Being the cause.
The reason.
The motivator.

Waste.
Once you're influenced, you become hooked. Your life becomes a game. A game to find more to fill your craving. To get your fix. You'd do ANYTHING to be the winner- every single time you play it.

Failure.
Not coming to the realization quick enough.
Not seeing all the debt you're causing.
The pain you're causing others-what you're doing to them.


Ignoring.
Not paying any mind to the people who are trying to help you- open your eyes and help you.
Pretending everything is okay.
Thinking you're right when you know **** well you're not.


Realization.
Unfortunately, by the time you get to this stage- it might be too late.
Not only did you lose the ones you love who loved you- you lost yourself, who you used to be.

You always told me that I was "born original" and not to "die a copy".
When are you going to start taking your own advice?..
