#negligent - Hello Poetry

I use my illnesses as an excuse to not do what needs to be done, to not do what I want to be done. Careless. I spent hours and hours on a project I love, but will likely never finish. Yearning. I went the whole week without finishing a single assignment. Negligent. I leave my hundreds of abandoned projects by the wayside, despite wanting to work on them all. Distracted. I dream of creating so, so much, but don't ever commit to something because it's not instantly gratifying. Idiotic. I wrote a poem about how awful I am for friends and strangers alike to see and pity me over. Egotistical. I told my parents that I did homework when I just lazed around all week. Liar. I waste money on food when there's food in the house. Lazy. I woke myself up too late at night with this poem in mind. Irresponsible. I want to **** myself sometimes. Selfish.

Scarcity of phrase, Once regarded in adoration, Takes another phase, Undergoing a transformation. And hence, Negligence.

Once I was at a house party in the highlands, I got very drunk. We were skateboarding on the large tennis court up on the top of the extravagant property which did not belong to any of us. I was trying to do a trick and the board flew out from under me and rolled out of control into the center net. I didn't know it, but I broke both bones below my wrist clean across. When I fell, I was initially disoriented. I remember everybody letting out a big gasp or "Oooh, ouch." I staggered to my feet and tried to assess the situation. I started to feel dizzy and fell back over. I think two people helped me back up and got me sat down in a chair. I remember the feeling that I was blacking out and couldn't breathe. "I think I am going into shock." I said to everybody around me. "I think I might need some medical attention." I said immediately after. Nobody really paid attention. "You're fine." Somebody said. I shook my head as to say no, but to no avail. Nobody was listening. "I need an ambulance" I passed out again. At some point, I woke up and drove myself home, drunk and with a broken arm. Nobody wanted to give their good time to help me, even though I knew everybody and I desperately needed it... The terrifying part about this, is that it has happened before. Know who your friends are Know how cruel and negligent they can be. Know how little drugs and alcohol care about you.
