(Step #1) Hey world, I'm an addict

By Sticky Kitty

Struggling...
flushing $20 worth of heaven
down the fucking drain
didn't mean to collapse
into pathetic pieces
as toilet water swirls pill shaped bliss
into shit and filth
my bulimic vomit

I
am
one big fucking addiction

Another fuck up in a fucked up world
pulling myself up to breath
so I can duck back into obsession

I'm another
cutting bulimic popping pills to escape
dragging in the dirt
untill I black out
from lack of blood or food
or too much perscription

I
am
an
addict

Fucking ugly word

Admitting is just the beginning
so I am make the first baby step
to saving myself

I
am
all
I will ever have

come on, that's a little bit harsh don't you think? I mean at least this person left something to say, 'yeah, I read your work, I appreciated it and I liked it.' this person says they're 14, and new here,
