I'm okay, I promise.

Its just that sometimes im sad.
Or i feel like nobody cares.

Maybe its sitting in a room full of people and feeling like im not actually there.

Sometimes after spending the day with my friends laughing and talking i go back to my dorm and sit by myself and feel alone.

I occasionally feel like im not good enough for anyone.

And i feel like if i disappeared nobody would notice or maybe they would be grateful im gone.

Sometimes they all say im important but i don't feel that way.

I hide my emotions and pretend im happy just so my friends don't have to deal with me.

Because i know they say they are here if i want to talk but if i were to talk i would feel like im annoying them and that im just an inconvenience.

They love me.

I love them.

But maybe that's not enough.

Maybe it will never be enough.

Maybe their love only extended my existence by a short few months.

Or even maybe a year or two.

But eventually time will run out.

And their love wont be enough to keep me here anymore.

Because no matter what they say or do i will still feel like a disappointment and a fuck up.

But to them i smile.

And laugh.

And pretend to be alright.

Because im okay.

I promise.
