It hurts.
I don’t think I’ve ever felt more alone.
There’s nothing quite like it, this empty feeling in your soul.
I try to fight it, try to get myself to calm down,
But I can’t, and I have no idea why that is so.

This lonely feeling comes when you reach out for help,
And the people you talk to don’t get it.
They tell you to relax, to try to stay happy,
But you’re absolutely sick of hearing that.
You wonder “if I could do that, I wouldn’t be here in the first place”
And so in anger, you shut them out.

Maybe it wasn’t just anger,
Exhaustion also
You were tired of being misunderstood,
Tired of feeling like you were the only one,
Tired of feeling like you had no one.
But deep down you know it isn’t their fault,
They’re trying their best to help you after all,
But it’s so annoying that they don’t get it,
You really wish they did.

So they ask next time,
“Hey, how are you doing”
And with tears in your eyes,
You reply along the lines of “great”
Because you don’t want to seem like a burden,
You don’t want to upset anyone either.
It’s not that much, you don’t want them to worry,
So about it you say nothing at all.

It sucks when nobody gets you.
They tell you everything but not what you want to hear.
So here’s some advice from a heavy heart,
Listen to yourself.
Deep down you know exactly what to do,
Deep down you know exactly what you want to hear.
You know the words that confort you best,
You know the right step to take.
Trust your self.
Tell yourself what you wish to hear,
That’s when things get better.
Feel free to give yourself love,
The same love you deprive yourself of but give to others freely.
It’ll all be alright.
You might not believe it but I promise you that .
