breathe
breathe.
i say.
fucking breathe.
fucking hypocrites- telling me everything will be fine.
their life is falling apart just like mine.
they know nothing will be fine. they are trying to comfort another being.
my god i need help.
i haven’t been sober in months
cradle me in your arms and tell me to breathe
please- i fucking need you.
and all you do is try to comfort me. try
you never actually will. you will hand me a cigarette, or vodka.
but then you tell me to grow the fuck up and breathe.
for some reason it gets to my minuscule head and i remember
this will make me grow
or maybe it’s just the weed making me dilusional.
either way maybe i’ll try to win your love over- you’ve always wanted a flowery good girl.
soon you will have one
no more heartaches or heartbreaks
the nights are better since i’ve found you
and the days are brighter since you’ve been here
im grown now
im myself
i can breathe.
