what about me?
thedrugsdontwork Nov 2018
i always try my best to make others happy, but what about me? what about my happiness?

its always "there's nothing wrong with her" when I'm sad and can't explain why

my mouth won't let me say how my thoughts keep me up all night, or how I sometimes get so overwhelmed that I don't want to do anything anymore, or how sometimes I just want to be alone

i always check up on people, but what about me? what about my feelings?

help me
thedrugsdontwork Nov 2018
someone help me
my thoughts are too much
they make me overthink and get no sleep
i can't continue like this
i need to be saved

I'm trapped inside my head
too scared to say the first thing that comes to mind
i plaster on a fake smile
and say "i'm fine" when someone asks what's wrong
how do i say i'm trapped in my mind?
how do i say i want to escape from my own body?

all these thoughts continue to build up
when will i finally give up?
when will i finally let go?
they keep me up at night
make me toss and turn

someone help me
don't leave me here alone
in this home
with my mind
that  makes me want to curl up and die

please help me

oh boy
thedrugsdontwork Oct 2018
oh boy, you make my heart wonder

no, stop, i can't like my best friend

your eyes are so enchanting

no, what am I doing?

the way you walk, the way you talk...

oh boy what have I gotten myself into?

I have to make sure you'll never figure out
that'll for sure ruin our friendship,
our 119 day streak on Snapchat(ha) ,
and your name will disappear from my number one bestfriend spot...

we won't do photo shoots anymore,
or take long cars rides to the middle of nowhere

we won't lay in your backyard under the stars
asking stupid  questions about life

we won't cry together over heartbreaks

we won't laugh at absolutely nothing at 2:00 in the morning

i can't tell you how I feel

you'll always see me as just a friend...

oh boy

this generation

will we always be like this?

suffocated by our phones and how many likes we get on a Instagram post? how many views on a Snapchat story?

will we always be so amazed with our devices that we forget about the world we live in? forget about the generations after us?

should I
thedrugsdontwork May 2018
should I tell you I love you?
no, you wouldn't say it back.

should I tell you that I miss you?
no, you wouldn't say it back.

should I tell you that i constantly think of you?
no, you wouldn't say it back.

should I say that I want to marry you?
no, you wouldn't say it back.

what should I say? what should I do? my thoughts are always surrounded by you, your smile, your eyes.

should I tell you that I'm coming to visit you?
no, you'd say "don't."

gave
thedrugsdontwork May 2018
a couple of months ago, I gave you a look.

a couple of weeks ago, I gave you a smile.

a couple of days ago, I gave you a wave.

a couple of hours ago, I gave you a hug.

and i know, in a few minutes, I'll be giving you my heart, without getting anything in return.

what's it like
thedrugsdontwork May 2018
what's it like to be in love? to love someone and have them love you back? i give out all my love, and never recieve any back.

what's it like to have a shoulder to cry on? to have someone tell you that it'll be okay? i cry every night, but I don't tell anyone, because they'll just wave me away.

what's it like to be happy? to wake up every morning without any sadness? i try to be happy, but there's no such thing.

what's it like to still have hope in a world that constantly discriminates and hates?

please tell me, so I can be like you. so i can be in your shoes, and see things from your view.
