"eventually, you'll realize,
that hard work won't always pay off,"
you said.
"instead, do you.
starting today, i'll be your friend."
you added.
gah, i wish i wasn't crying right now.
but i need to,
my feelings, i thought.
they need to go.
how do your words strike me
when everyone else says it?
why can't i set myself free
when everyone else can?
"thank you,"
i said.
it'll be over soon."
i added, knowing that maybe, just maybe, things will be okay.
