I need/Societt
I need to be numb.
My emotions only betray me.
I become attached to the wrong things,
And it only leads to hurt.
My skin craves a pain.
My lungs desire toxins.
My internal environment bleeds for the feelings to flee.
They all want one thing,
Numbness.
I need a change.
A difference.
But all I have is the mediocre life of a drowning teenager.
A small drop in the societal ocean.
Silenced by the hand of the creator.
A gun cocked into my back.
A whisper into my ears,
Smile.
And I obey, like the little girl I was raised to be.
But inside,
I want to take the gun held behind me,
Face it,
And make him shoot.
Pew.
