My walls are high.
I'm so depressed, it'll hurt.
I hate myself more than anyone could.
I will come to you crying daily.
My skin will never be smooth.
I might call you at midnight saying I want to die.
I won't believe a single compliment you tell me.
All your friends will think I'm a waste or that I'm "too depressing."
I will break more times than you can count.
but
if you stand by me, I promise it'll be worth your while.
It'll be hard for you to love me.
It'll be hard for me to love you.
But it will happen.
I may not get better today,
or tomorrow.
but someday.
So darling, stand by me.
