Other People
other people
they are just stepping stones
used,
to satisfy the cruel needs –
of your failing mental health
other people,
used,
for your own desperate needs
a thirst to liked
a constant feed
desperate for a positive like
lies that have to be believed
other people,
only there so you can look better
saltwater knees and dead end belief
and cold, chattering plastic teeth
James Garratt – April 2007
