I'm so tired of pretending that everything is okay
I'm so tired of pretending to be happy when in reality I'm falling apart at an alarming rate on the inside
I'm so tired of pretending to be fine, putting on the fake face, trying to cover my pain, so that people don't feel sorry for me
I never wanted pity or sympathy from anyone, I was able to get through the shit I went through alone and still end up fine in the end, or so I thought
But I'm tired of keeping it all in, hiding my emotions, the actual pain I'm in, the hurt that my heart feels on a regular basis
I'm tired of sending subtle messages out for help and receiving very little of it back
I am always there for everyone, all my friends know they can talk to me about anything and I'm there to listen
Well who do I have to talk to? Late at night when I can't get to sleep, when I'm twisting and turning the entire night, going to sleep at a reasonable time and waking up feeling like I went to bed at 2 and got up at 4? Breaking down in the middle of the day, away from everyone's watchful eye, and hiding it with a smile and laugh to make it seem like everything's fine
I can't do this anymore, I'm just so tired, tired of everything
