My Life

January 10, 2022
By Anonymous

All my friends say they can’t live without me

They love me

But I could sure live without them

I could definitely live without the sticky fingers all over me

Getting shoved into dark places

Getting dropped every minute of the day

Staying up into the late hours of the night

Feeling so drained already by 10 in the morning

Everyone always asks them if they could live without their phone

But nobody ever asks me
