They take her
The drugs
I don't need to yearn
But maybe I do
I have a better life
I know I do
I shouldn't be so ungrateful
So selfish
Because you know what I am
I know that I have a home
People who care,
But when I slam that door
When they yell
And take away my only hope
I need someone to help me
When I have everything
I want more
I want someone to love me
Someone to tell me to run away with them
But when I see that girl
The girl with the drugs
I know I shouldn't run
Run away from this home
Because I have everything
I have someone that cares
People who would care if  I left
I need to graduate
Get money
Buy a huge house
In the middle of nowhere.
Somewhere far from these thoughts
Because I'm selfish and ungrateful
I know that,
But when I slam that door
And they yell
I know I'm hurting
I know depression isn't something to hide
But I can't help it
Underneath the kind person
There is selfishness
Someone is breaking
Someone so thin and fragile
I can't take this,
But the girl with the drugs are holding me back
Her life is difficult
Unlike me
  Because I'm privilege
I'm too good
I'm selfish
