4. I Know

I know I'm not important
I know no one cares
I know that my problems are stupid
And you want me to not share

I know I annoy everyone
Because I'm really the biggest moron
But trying to be perfect is too much
And my heart just can't go on

What does everyone want from me?
I'm trying my fucking best
I'm breaking down at every step
And I just want some rest

I know I'm just a speck of dirt
Not relevant to anyone
I know I'm invisible
To even my best friend, to everyone

Can't you just cut me some slack?
I know that I'm irritating you
But I can't help who I am
And I feel trapped like an animal in a zoo

I know this poem is trash
I know I don't have the "writing gift"
And everyday I'm further away from me
Carried with the tide, I drift

I know I speak too much
I know I laugh too much
I know I speak without thinking
And you hate me, I have a hunch

Why am I even here?
Why am I even alive?
Every single day I'm living
From my body, my soul is derived

Please just let me go
Please just let me forget
I'll be fine, maybe not
But why do you fret?

I know I'm not your favourite
I know I'll never be
And when I'm gone one day
I know you'll finally live in glee

All I want is your happiness
And to do so, you need mine
But I've been soulless for long
I know I'll be just fine
