Is It Okay?

Is it okay to torture yourself? Caring for someone you know doesn't care for you. Yet no matter what you do you can't stop caring.

Is it okay to cry even though you knew it would end this way? Having given them everything even though they gave you nothing. Yet you still did it.

Is it okay to draw blood when all you want to do is die? Loving someone who never even thought of you. Yet you still gave them your heart?

Is it okay to take thirty-something pills? Hoping to die, but not even feeling sleepy. Crying because just like they said.

You're a failure. Pathetic. Worthless. Unlovable.

Is it okay to believe them? Knowing someone does love you. Yet you still feel alone?
