No one gets it. I've cried myself to sleep every night since I was four. I'm messed up. Sex is my coping mechanism so I can forget the pain that haunts me day and night.

No one gets it. I have to be strong for him, for you, for them. I'm not allowed to be broken

No one gets it. I apologize for my feelings too. I play it off and be okay. They don't know how insecure I am.

No one gets it. I'm not okay. I'm selfish and I feed off of other people's emotions. I need attention and I need to be wanted. 

I'll be fine , but no one gets it.
