Drugs Are Tempting

Folder: 
A Beautiful Life

Pain is something impossible to get rid of,
Bit it can always be covered up
Like covering an imperfect skin with make-up.
We always look for a way to hide our pain.

We always self-harm to distract ourselves from pain
Because we know the real reason to feel it
Unlike attempting to figure out other people's reasons.
My fucking brain hurts from trying to read minds.

Cutting my wrist and starving myself felt good,
But I want to do even more shit that I've never done.
My fears of becoming bad and destroying myself vanished,
Leaving me desiring and tempting to drink and do drugs.

As if my depression wasn’t done with me yet,
It made a sharp comeback again after a couple of weeks.
But this time, I reveled in the pain it brought me
And it gave me a reason to start destroying my life.

Changing my appearance again was barely the beginning
Of shutting myself from this damned world.
When I look into the mirror in my cold room,
I see an underweight girl that looks like Death.

I barely had any alcoholic drinks in my life,
But I’ve never tried to do the monstrous drugs.
There’s no one that I know that does drugs over here,
So it’s not too bad to start overdosing Advil pills.

The pain will always be endless forever,
So why not destroy yourself to make it feel more good?

First poem of the year!! Yay!!!

I wrote this while listening to Amy Winehouse and I just recently went back to depression... The pain is even worse and more shit is added to it and I decided to enjoy the whole pain and suffering and start destroying my own life to make it feel better. I drank alcohol a few times in my life before, but I've never done illegal drugs. I'm still deciding to fight back and not break apart, but it's really hard because of my situation and options.

Listen I drink, more than i

Listen I drink, more than i should and smoke weed, and occasionally do other things. you shouldn't do drugs to destroy your life. sometimes they may momentarily make me forget about my depression, but it never is truely gone. what are you depressed about if you don't mind me asking? What ever you dabble in just remember all good things come in moderation.

Lately, I went through some

Lately, I went through some extremely hard times that I didn't have a chance to fix because I didn't have control over them. I wanted to escape those moments, so I thought of doing things a lot worse like drugs and alcohol to focus my attention on them instead. But, those moments are over now and I didn't end up doing those shit.
