Taking Away The Pain

The drugs you take make you smile

But this only lasts for a while

You pour another glass of whiskey to drown your sorrows

But the pain will still be there tomorrow

You make marks on your skin to get rid of your sins

But are you really pure after all this?

 

And then the depression comes back and hits you hard

Now you are back to the start

So you hurt yourself again just to feel ok once more

But you will never back to the way you were before

 

You cry and cry until there are no more tears left

How did you get yourself into this mess?

You can’t remember the last time you were truly content

All you have to live for is pain and torment

 

You have to drag yourself away from this fixation

Don’t waste your life on self-mutilation

Everyone is addicted to something that takes away the pain

But once the effects have worn off, everything is the same

Laura your just so talented.
Promise me you wont stop writing? Your writing is an inspiration i swear.
This was deep, filled with emotion, and so inspirational.
Its so honest and straight out, sounds like you have been through it as well.
I'ts so very true, all this self harm, alcohol, it would only take away the pain for awhile, and then you feel it all over again.
Drinking, smoking, wont take away your problems, in fact it gives you more. You could turn into an alcoholic, and god knows smoking is really bad for your insides.
Amazingly written, seriously well done with this piece :)
