    Wow. I feel the same as Esther. Lol. I have no idea about what it's explaining. In the beginning, it sounded like you were talking about sniffing drugs, or something, and then you kind of lost me at the 'pull snap, pull snap' part lol. But I loved it anyways. =P Great flow, and words were wonderfully placed. Great piece! =) 5/5 xoxo

    Theres two people in the piece and it doesnt have anything to do with drugs.

    "smoke rises and falls around me like a shroud
    inhale, exhale, pause, and repeat"

    The girls smoking a cigarrette

    "look into your eyes, lifeless and pale
    look in the mirror and see the same"

    self explanitory; herein enters the second person.

    "broken, missing, alone, or not seeing
    highs become lows, lows fall away
    look around for the feeling
    for the breath of fresh air
    watch the smoke slowly disappear"

    this is a brief description of who she is/where she is in life.

    "maybe I should be crying
    begging the forgiveness that isnt there
    maybe I should be angry, maybe I should care"

    shes thinking about how she should feel something but doesnt

    "1 2 3 4 counting the stains upon the wall
    5 6 7 8 counting the things ive done that taint"

    she doesnt want to be there in that situation, and its basically expressing anywhere but here

    "pull and snap, pull and snap
    rubber meets skin and helps to distract
    welts rise ugly and bleeding
    pull and snap, pull and snap
    rub my head, and pull my hair"

    thats what shes actually doing

    "hands brush gently down my face"

    there he is again, a backround, not the main picture

    "throat aches and lips are cracked and peeling
    I lick and bite down, enjoying the feeling"

    She gives in to physical sensation being better than no sensation.

    Overall its a poem about self hatred and disgust.

    "pull and snap, pull and snap
    rubber meets skin and helps to distract
    welts rise ugly and bleeding
    pull and snap, pull and snap
    rub my head, and pull my hair"

    Shes pulling a hair tie back and letting it hit her wrist so repetitevely that she has welts on her arm that are beginning to bleed
