Overcoming
So here I sit
alone
Not sure of what to feel
Not sure of what to say
Not sure if any second my life could be taken away
I wonder who would know
I wonder who would care
Where were you when all I wanted was to be loved
Where are the people that so call claim to be my 'friends'
Why can't I be loved
Why can't I be cherished
When will people want to know the REAL me
Can these eyes hide under my skin for any longer?
How long do I have to cough up all the blood you drained out of my body
How much longer will my eyes be able to sustain their strength
Am I wrong for what I feel?
Am I wrong to say I'm hurt
Or am I wrong for needing the love I rejected?
People expect so much from me but never earned my trust
You want me to love u
Look for u
Talk to u
While you fucking sit on my stomach
Slowly,
slowly taking out all of the air that was never yours
You want the strength I burry
But listen here, you will never be able to carry
Carry all these loads
All these unresponsive feelings
All of the things that you can't even find in your buried sack of shit you call your heart
Listen.
Don't hate me for something I can't take back
But remember this.
my soul will no longer tremble under your prying eyes
And here
Here are your bags
Because I will never carry them on my back again
Now bleed
Now scream
Here lies all the shit you threw to me
This is goodbye
