Flirting with bad ideas
Things happened over the years
Some can't be changed
Fade away over time
Not attached people come and go
Felt abandoned betrayed
Learned to let go of toxic people
Stopped embracing negativity
Got drained listening couldn't help
Gave advice to be ignored
Some set in their ways
Refused to see things differently
Kept a distance didn't get involved
While others ran back into danger
Not trying to fall back into bad habits
Helping a friend sacrificing got anxiety

They say,
"You were happier on the pills."
They say,
"The things you do give us chills."
They say,
"Are you even trying?"
They say,
"Why are you crying?"
They say,
"Your life isn't that bad."
They say,
"You have no reason to be sad."
They say,
"You can't live alone."
They say,
"You can't ever atone."
They say,
"We love all of you."
They say,
"Except the things you do."

I say,
"All you are is talk."
I say,
"You erase me like chalk."
I say,
"You love me but you don't."
I say,
"You want me to do what you won't."
I say,
"I'd be better off dead."
I say,
"I'm a burden that needs shed."
I say,
"Check the mirror."
I say,
"Don't shed a tear."
