He doesn't know.

my best friend

He said he'll get

the alcohol and weed

but I don't know

if he knows

why I ask.

He said he'll be there

whenever he's needed

but I don't know

if he knows

I don't need anything.

He said he wants me

to stay safe

but I don't know

if he knows

that will never happen.

He said I should

love myself

but I don't know

if he knows

that I can't.

Author's Note

tell me what you think.

Find something to love about yourself. Otherwise, you'll fill the hole by loving other people (or substances) too much.
I like this poem. I like that it is clear, concise, and candid.
