I've said nothing, yet my heart is dismissed, already invalidated, as if I don't exist. Too tired, too sick, to chase after you'll only give what I get, and that's all I can do. I thought you were different, but you're just the same, it stings when your feelings are met with shame.
I've invested so much, but none of it's seen, It's tough when you're lost in the spaces between. I know that my well-being must come first, Surround myself with those who value the worth. If I'm ready, I'll speak, let my thoughts be known, But for now, I'll step back and be alone.
It's hard when instincts and exhaustion collide, A war in my chest that I cannot hide. Sometimes, a break to reflect is the cure, To see what I want, and what I'm willing to endure. I'll trust my instincts, but give myself grace, Taking my time, finding my place.
Once vibrant with love, now anger's my friend, A fire that burns and will not bend. It's painful, it's heavy, it's hard to breathe, Lost in the storm of what I believe. I just want to scream, to shatter the quiet, Drown out the emptiness, end the riot.
