“The Savages”

They don’t pay attention to what you say,

They observe the behaviour you display

Bullied through school, parents told you to harden up and get over it, the thought of being alone made you feel physically ill, all you wanted was to feel apart of something to be invited places with some friends even just someone to call and talk to, to genuinely feel as though people enjoyed your company and wanted to hang out on the weekends, just anything to feel like you have a purpose or a place within a group of friends.

On the weekends they smoked weed and took pills and to your surprise.. You were invited and that sense of belonging instantly took over but you can’t be the only sober one there right? Oh god no, alcohol is right there so accessible and you’re offered a drink, of course you’re going to say yes come the fuck on you’re a teenager desperate to fit in.

Would you trade some morals, self respect and dignity to for it? Yes, one hundred fucking percent yes… and it reeks by the way but who cares you don’t feel alone anymore, how good is this you start to think to yourself knowing dam well they have motives for including you.

Lets face it, no one wants to feel left out or like they don’t belong. Society would be mortified if some of these adolescents spoke their truth when they were asked the most annoying question- “Why”,… but the truth is never taken seriously anyway so in return you’ll get an answer you want to hear, I’ll tell you for a fact it’s nowhere near the truth that kid is dying to tell you.
