Addict Quote by Delaney Ridnour
“They think I'm powerful. because I do whatever I want. because I tell everyone to screw off. because I dont listen to anyone. because I run for months and I'm never spotted. but I am powerless. because my friends are backstabbers. because I cant trust anyone. because I was raped. because I was jumped. because my mom doesnt want me in her house. because I'm an addict..”
