The Ceiling
. Have you ever noticed that the ceiling is a very comforting thing to stare at?
I stare at it every night, with tears streaming down my face.
Thoughts running through my mind like there's no tomorrow.
You may ask why I cry every night, or why I stare at the ceiling.
Well, to answer your first question.. I'm hurting.
And its not physically, but its more emotionally.
I try so hard to be the perfect daughter, student, or just anything.
And what I do is never good enough....
I will NEVER be good enough.
And sometimes I feel like this world will never be a good place for me.
I don't belong here...
At least that's what I think.
And to answer your second question... It's very comforting.
Its inspiring...
The ceiling and the walls of a house are what holds it together.
Even on its worse days it still keeps itself together.
It continues to be strong.
I wanna be like that ceiling...
But until then I'll put my headphones in..
Tune the world out..
And stare at The Ceiling..
