Looking

Parents
The place I looked for unconditional love
And was given temporary things
Friends
The place I looked for support
And was given "your making me worse"
Family
The place I looked for unity
And was given dysfunction
School
The place I looked for acceptance
And was given hatred
Strangers
The place I looked for anything
And was given more blows
A razor
The place I looked for understanding
And was given it.
A pill
The place I looked for escape
And was given it
A high up place
The place I looked for light
And found none
Parents, Family, Friends
The places I hoped would forgive what I'm going to do
And will never know if they'll give it.
