Life
I saw him again today
It was the way it used to be
Or I thought I seen it that way
He touched me there like before
It took me to the deep dark place
Though it wasn't the way I remembered
How does depression feel on a person
I don't know, how would I truly know
Is it when someone cuts deep into the skin
I always thought that was a call to be noticed
Though I would never do such a horrible thing
Only because I'm to chicken to feel the pain
I saw my father for the first time at seventeen
He was pretty much how my mother described
I wasn't sure how to feel or react as we were driving
Or even what kind of conversation to have with him
My first thoughts were "why" did he leave me behind
Then I thought does it even matter to me about the answer
Or does he even care about how many times I woke up crying
Does he want to know if I take drugs or drink or smoke weed
Or even if I'm a virgin or not, and does he even care about that
I'll be going back to school next week where I can be me again
My mom will be alone again, I feel sad, but I can't stay home
I want to do the right thing for her, but I want to make me happy
I watch my friends at parties as they are taking their drugs
I wish my life was more like the movies where things end happily
And the angels swoop down and rescues everyone like me
