dont you just
hate those nights you cant fall asleep ,
those nights youre up wishing it was different ,
wishing you were different
in hopes it wouldve made a difference .
dont you just
hate those feelings that break you down .
those feelings that weigh your heart to the bottom of your shoes
slowly pulling you under water and to where you cant breathe .
dont you just
hate those nights when drinking isnt enough ,
enough to take away the hurt ,
whenno amount of booze could ease the pain building and building in your chest .
as if you can actually feel yourself breaking .
dont you just
hate those days when faking a smile doesnt work ,
when a painted on face still doesnt mask the hurt ,
& you have to just suck it up and accept whats happened
whats going to happen
and what might never happen again .
dont you just
hate when nothing and no one can make you feel like you want to .
no one can be who you want to be with ,
dont you just
hate when you never feel good enough
that nothing you ever do or say is ever enough ,
dont you just
hate when you want to help but you feel helpless ,
worthless , as if youre making it worse by doing nothing about doing something .
dont you just
hate when you feel alone ,
alone in room full of people . yet you’re the only one standing still .
dont you just
hate that life isnt what you ever expected / hoped / thought / dreamed it would be .
