My friends always treats me like a kid
They carry me around for no reason
They sugarcoat things for me all the time
They kiss my forehead for no reason
It's always been that way so it doesn't bother me
I got used to it over the years

My family always tells me to keep my innocence and always live in the mind of a child
Sometimes it seems like I'm still a little girl rather than a teenager

But I'm not as innocent as everyone thinks I am

Maybe I don't know what a lot of what my friends call "dirty jokes" and say that I don't need to know what they mean
But my mind is a dark place
I feel like I'm never enough for anyone
I harm myself physically just to keep myself sane and alive
I freak out over little things
I always find a way to bring myself down
I'm not that innocent
I've already lost half of my mind

Those things my friends do comfort me and calm the voices
It's stupid really but I wonder if they know how much those little things really mean to me.
Without my friends I would have given up in the 5th grade when my mind started to get bad
