i feel like life is just
one heartbreak after another.
you'll tell yourself that you're
the happiest you've ever been
then something happens to
take that all away from you.

you try to make yourself and
the people you love proud,
but it feels like all you do is fail.
no matter how hard you try,
it's just never enough.

it makes you feel lost and question
everything about your worth
and your purpose.
like a flower that's not being
watered in order to grow,
or a butterfly that has a broken
wing and can't fly.

i feel like my wings are broken
and i'm dying of thirst,
waiting for someone to come along
and help me prove my worth.
