Do you **** around with me to just "f*** with me?' Would you actually buck for me? Tell me, is it you give a f*** for me? You undoubtedly would pull runs We're not just doing it for the funds my G So do you f*** with me?

Questions
I felt it last night That feeling of empty. When you blindly throw trust, And hungry hands choke it to death. I couldn't breath. Skin raw and stung, You burnt me with a fiery poker, Branding me a fool. Calling me out for my desperate need To be longed for. I felt numb as you held me. Yet too hot. Walls closed in. I stared at your ceiling, Wondering when it was okay to leave. Collect my pride from the floor and go. I am just a piece of meat I forgot, Sorry. Thank you for reminding me of who I am. Those moments you left me to my thoughts, I felt a familiar warmth. Slightly comforting being alone next to someone (Slightly messed up is what it is) I felt slightly nothing. When I left, your back was turned. And I could breathe again. As if I had been holding my breath for 14 hours. (You had me for 14 hours) That's how long it takes to learn. I found money on my way out, I stole it. I felt I deserved it. You wasted me My time My body You insulted my intelligence. I stole cigarettes as well. To pull the life back into my lungs. Funny how something so intimate and personal, Can become a power grab. That's when I tune out. Go limp, numb, turn off my brain. I wish you had paid me... Give me a good Yelp review at least 5 stars **** you. I felt scared. **** you

Numb
I was always told I meant nothing I was just another body Waiting to have a hole dug in the ground I was never a favorite with children or adults I seemed too outgoing Too energetic Adults tell me to not be myself around others I need to be reserved So I tried being calm, quiet I never talked to anyone no matter the age And soon it became so easy, so natural That by second grade I went weeks without speaking And I never gave a **** Because it's what everyone else wanted And it became what I needed In high school, my teachers told me to speak up They want me to be an individual But knowing that everyone else wanted me quiet I just shrugged and moved on I look back now and remember I remember the lonely nights The red splattered carpet The feeling of vacancy When I needed to try To try to speak my mind To try and be myself To try and stop my destructive behavior I failed I've always been a failure Who tried their best to fix their mistakes But trying is the first step to failure And I've lost this battle
