Seventeen

By bedazzled

They painted pretty pictures full of mascara and lace, reflections of smiles upon every perfect face. Underneath the surface were currents that enticed, of sex, of drugs, of alcohol, so bad and yet so nice. Well here I am with scars from every finished start, with lies, deceit, and guilt and a blackened, crippled heart. Broken friendships, broken pieces, broken hopes upon the floor and a lovely dark addiction that leaves me wanting more. I've been so high, I've been so low and through every in between and I guess that I just got it wrong when I pictured seventeen.
