fighting my battle of addiction

I'm not proud to say I've done drugs I've drank.
I'm not proud to say I was happy doing them.
every time I was high it was an escape from what I should have been facing.
I got drunk just cause I knew people who drank.
I'm tired of trying to fit in with everyone.
sure i may be weird in my own way.
people tell me i have good looks. 
and my looks is what gets me places but I'm tired of people only seeing my looks.
i want them to see me for me past the smile past the fake smile's past it all.
I'm not proud of the things iv done and now that im graduating in may it scares me 
it scares me that i have no clue what im doing with my life 
i don't have a job and soon I won't have anything to communicate with people.
I'm scared of everything.
I wanted this year to go well for me but how can it go well when i don't know what iI'm doing.
I have offers to college but no money to go.
I'm scared that I'm always going to be traped in this house that I want to escape.
