Smother

Smother

You won't like me.<br />I am not the nice girl. I am not your friend. <br />I don't care about you, but most of all, I don't care about me.<br />Go ahead, hate me.<br />We all have secrets.<br />I have them as well—dark, terrible secrets. <br />The only time I can breathe is when I forget. <br />I need to be numb. You don't want to know how. <br />But as long as I can breathe, the past cannot smother me.
