It seems like I can't do anything right
Constantly hearing screams directed towards me
Being ignored by the people I need mostBeing pressured about my grades
About my vices
About my choicesI don't wish this internal battle upon anyone
Nor this external oneNo one knows how hard it is to smile every day
Or how hard it is to hold back tears every second
How hard it is to try and be normal for the sake of other peopleTons of people have it worse than me
But tons of people also have it so much betterPeople say that it will be okay
I want to believe them
I need to believe them
For the sake of my own sanityI still feel happiness
It's not like I'm numb inside like I have been countless times
But the happiness I feel isn't what it used to be
There is always a part of me that is crying
