As I sit here, smoking this cigarette that pushes me closer to my death, I wish that I could be closer to all of you.  I will never have the kind of friendships I wish I had.  Even though I really don't know what kind of friendship that is, I just know that I don't have it.  I have this huge void in my life and I don't know how to fill it.  I am not happy with anything in my life.  Some things are so wonderful, but that void takes away from it.  As I sit here against this window by the heater, I feel like slitting my wrists.   I fell so left out. I am a thinker, not a doer.  Damn me. I guess everyone wants more than what they have, it just seems like they all have so much more.  But I'm sure everyone feels such great loneliness.  I know that I am so fortunate, but I can't help but be depressed.  We all have our bad days.  I just want to go somewhere where I am a part of things, where I am appreciated and accepted. Damn me. I feel so sick.  I need a razor.  I need a savior. I have so much anger, I need to scream - I just have nothing to say.  I've always had a problem with words.  My head hurts.  I think that I suffer from talkers block. damn me. I am inches away from becoming a total recluse, fuck, I already am one, I'm just "in the closet", so I guess I'm just inches away from "coming out".  I am simply known as "the girlfriend", so my opinion means dick, I'm not even just another face in the crowd, I'm not present, I'm fucking invisible.  My status is lower than a fucking groupie, they get more respect than me.  I am a nameless bimbo with no talent, opinions, or ideals, I am just a trophy. I am such a masochist, I stick around for the abuse, so I guess I can't really complain, huh? Damn me. None of my close "friends" are interested in my "poetry".  They aren't interested in my work, let alone supportive.  Yet, I continue to sit here, alone, bitching about how awful my life is and dreaming about my band, not doing a god damn thing or change it.  But as I said before, I am a thinker, not a doer. DAMN ME!
