They say that everyone has this feeling

somewhere deep down inside.

And that even the most difficult to get to

have it as well.

This feeling that depends on trust

and friendship.

That develops over time.

That takes dedication and sacrifice.

And takes will.

The will to Love.

If everyone and everything can feel this,

then why can't I?!

More than once it seemed as though

I was once loved.

But I was mistaken.

Although everything may seem okay,

deep down inside I'm breaking.

Years of rejection weigh me down

and everything inside me is so close to shattering.

All of this pain and abuse

has become the norm for me.

Nobody in this world seems to care.

That's why I hide it and continue my life

Pretending to be normal.

Hiding everything

my emotions and feelings

from everyone.

But somewhere inside

I long to be loved.

It is an everlasting hunger

that is never satisfied.

Anything I do is a mistake or failure

so how am I supposed to fulfill this hunger

If even I can't do so myself?

Isn't it clear that

I don't belong in this world?

What is the point of being on this Earth

if I am not loved

and there is no one to love?
