The Pain


I never understood what people meant when they said "Pain changes people," until I saw you with her

This burning sensation invaded my body

I got this pain inside my chest.

All  I wanted to do was to scream and cry but every time I tried nothing came out,

So I just sat there staring blankly at the two of you.

You were supposed to be my forever, why the hell are your fingers intertwined with hers

No, I am not obsessed but you can't go around making promises with people and not keep them

We make promises to people because we trust them with our feelings.

We trust them enough to put all of our hope into their words

All for what?

Just to be let down?

We know the results will always be the same but we still just want someone to actually keep just one,

Growing up we thought our teenage years would be the best years but in reality, they are the worst.

Now that the teenage years are here were all just suicidal kids just trying to make it through the day without having a mental break down.

As children we were never taught about eating disorders and depression, we weren't taught about how to deal with boys who are constantly trying to get into your pants regardless of you saying no.

We weren't taught about how girl secretly hate each other and how the world forces you to have a different image of beautiful

When we were children everything was sunshine and rainbows and now it is just dark clouds and heavy rainfall.
