Why I do it

I drink because it replaces sadness with happiness.

I smoke cuz I don't feel the pain.

I cut cuz my life is crumbling around me.

You don't realize that do you?

I don't love myself cuz there's nothing to love.

I fear failure cuz I'm trying not to be a bigger disappointment than I already am.

You expect me to fight through my problems...

Instead I am suffocating in them.
