Doesn't feel like Christmas

Families are gathered close by the fireplace

Kids are out from school and playing in the snow 

Couples are reuniting and rejoicing 

The tree is put up in the corner of the room by the window, 

for all the passerbyers outside to admire, 

But it doesn't feel like Christmas at all 

A year filled with heartbreak, sadness, and pain 

And yet, still, everyday I wake up and try to look for the good in the day 

Even if it's the slightest bit of happiness 

But it's getting harder to now, with everything that's continuing to go on in the world. 

I have you, but it still feels like its wrong, 

Like I don't deserve the good things I have in my life 

All I ever wanted was for you to like me back 

And now that I know you do there's still the issue 

of the other girls that like you 

The ones you give your attention to 

The ones privileged enough to be around you on a daily basis 

The date on the calendar might read December 25, 

but my Christmas wish will never come true, 

and I need to face the truth
