 Blah Blah Blah


So tired

wish I could just sleep forever

fade away

not have to see touch feel

anything anymore

wishing I could be numb

wishing I didn't hurt so much

wishing I didn't feel like crying any second

wishing there was no hole in me

or that it was filled with something more permanent than wishes

One side says if you don't care it can't hurt

One says that you can't stop the hurting without caring

which is it?

where do I keep going wrong?

don't wanna feel

but secretly inside I want someone who wants me

loves me

more than anything

sad huh?

and not for me

undeserving and inflexible I stand fast

alone in my field of rocks

waiting for mountains to arise out of dust

that day will never come

where is the breaking point?

when do people decide to sttle

or to stand alone?

can you ever be truly happy with what you've settled for

when all your dreams have always been of perfection

of something amazing

other people find it, I've seen them

not my mother, not my brother, not me

must be something in the personality I spose

or the strict requirements

or the not believing

or the inside

I just want that something amazing

is it really so ridiculous for me

to imagine that it could be?

to want it even as I know it's out of reach?

I don't want to just not be alone

I want to be necessary

and I'm not necessary anywhere

not to anyone

not at any of my jobs, not to my friends, not to my family

what the hell is the point?

feel like I could just drift away into starlight

wish it was possible

feel like running far away

but that leads to nowhere too

wish I could just be normal

and not insanely broken
