Through My Looking Glass 🔬

Almost Safe

I missed the hopeful part in life
The happy moments
Seems like I missed all the normal experiences
I had people who knocked self-esteem and breaths out of me before I had the chance to take them
I was crying in my room, instead of being a child
I was a loner instead of a social butterfly
I'd almost say a mistake instead of someone who belonged
I spent time with my thoughts instead of the friends I could never seem to keep
When I did open up, I was greeted by heartache
Everything I wanted I had to give up
Or gave up on me
Everyone I loved ended up breaking me
Life was an uphill battle
Words got absorbed into my very being
They get into my mind and torture my heart
But the ache gets comfortable
Almost safe.
