Human Nature


Sometimes we do things just for the sake of doing it

Just to say oh yea i did that
Or
Just to fill a void
Sometimes we use those around us 
So that we can feel better
Not really realizing 
That we hurt those who care
And 
Worse
We hurt ourselves
We allow ourselves to be used
Because
 you figure that maybe if you let him use you itll turn into love
You figure if i do it one more time i wont do it again
Not realizing that youre sinking deeper and deeper into a mess 
A mess of lies and deciet
You wake up feeling sick and depressed
Thinking 
That if you let him use you again 
That if you do it one more time things will be better
Not seeing that those are the reasons you wake up crying at night
Dont worry it gets better because maybe just maybe as you read this youll see the flaws in your plan and change it
