So

 I was standing next to the jars of pills, 
so close, so close 
to take just one box, okay not really; 
correction: four big boxes 
of two hundred pills each, the possibility of 
a long, long slumber. 
Oh, how I wish, 
like the others around me, 
I could do away with manners, or 
use my problems as an excuse 
for bad etiquettes. 
I abhor how they use practically anything 
as a reason to behave off 
with others. 
I was talking to a friend, 
but I envisioned him as something more. 
Then came shame and then came guilt, 
I wondered if, like she once said, I was a whore. 
I was writing a poem, 
and well, I forgot what I was writing about, 
so I wrote about my thoughts- 
And well, everybody judged; 
what was the point anyway?
