how much longer...


how much longer do i have to get up and feel the weight of my sadness on my shoulders?
how much longer do i have to put a smile on my face and pretend everything is OK?
how much longer do i have to live in a world that makes me not want to live?
how much longer do i have to cry myself to sleep every night?
how much longer do i have to feel so completely and utterly alone and insignificant?
how much longer do i have to find the strength to withstand my unhappiness?
how much longer can i?
