They Will Say
They will say to stop
Once they find them
Those thin slips of red lining your wrists
They will say to STOPSTOPSTOP
Find another way find another outlet find something
ANYTHING
But they don't know do they?
Should I compare this to a meth addict and their supplement?
This solution to your problem is something that is almost
Dare I say it?
Addicting
It is the meth
The heroin
The oxycoton
It is the only thing that you can actually feel
That is actually real
You can control it
It is for the bad days
The really really badbadbad days
And it's the only thing you can think about
When you have those days
And maybe it is awful
Maybe it is the most awful thing in the world
And maybe you should stop
Because I heard blah blah blah from blah blah blah
Say that they look gross when you hold them up to the light
Say that you would be so pretty without those things on your wrists
That is why I said in the beginning once they find them
And not if they find them
Because people tend to search for things that scare them
When the meth runs out
