[free verse]
I felt like my emotions were too harmful
That's why I kept them locked away
But they're killing me
I feel like I'm dying everyday
Why do you act like you know me
When you know nothing at all
Don't you know it hurts?
To have someone act like they're okay with you
When the truth is
They've always hated you
And there you were making a fool of yourself
Trying to fit in with everyone else
When the truth is
They never really liked you
It was a mistake you know?
Trusting others so much
Even though they always end up breaking you
Helping them every time they needed you
And watching them leave when you needed them
No one really cares about you
Isn't it obvious?
No one likes you
Stop getting attached
Trust no one
They'll leave every god damn time
It's better to be alone
Than be with people who make you feel alone
And hate yourself for who you are
I never knew it was possible
To hate yourself this much
That all you want to do is die
But that will make you feel worse
Because no one will even care when you're gone
I bet they won't even notice
Because you're a failure
You always have been
