1.

It seems like you have to do drugs to write nowadays.

Maybe if I do drugs, I'll write a book as popular

As The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

Or Naked Lunch.

 

2.

If I did drugs, my social awkwardness

Would pretty much be gone.

No inhibitions? No problems!

 

3.

I hate when people say,

Don't do drugs, or commit suicide

And always use contraception

Or you'll be a statistic.

 

I am a statistic no matter what

No matter what I do at all

Even just existing

Makes me a statistic.

 

Because that's the world we live in.

 

4.

I'd cope with the world we live in!

I'd cope by altering my mind

Changing my whole life

Just to forget-

 

5.

I don't know where I'm going in life

I used to want to perform

I still love performing, but so much of it

Goes against my morals, performing for

 

Rich perverts in suits and ties

With stacks of bills to hide behind

Hide the fact that they're plastic

Performing for those people.

 

I don't see as much future as I used to.

This is why teens are reckless, they can't

See a future to save brain cells for, I can't

See a future to save brain cells for!

 

1.

I don't want to lose myself

The only child that cried in Life Ed

At what those drug addicts could've been

That child that said they would 

 

Never, ever, ever do drugs.

 

 

I don't want to lose the girl

That's still in there, the person

Who hugs their parents, the person

Who still loves, who still has hope

 

Who has thoughts about the world, thoughts to share

The girl who wants to share this poem with you.

I am not losing myself to a substance. 

That is all.
