Struggling
To keep it together
Breathing in
Breathing out
To prevent from having another breakdown<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s getting harder to breath
I just want to get down onto my knees
Can I do this anymore?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Socialization
Hate it
But love it at the same time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is it so hard for you understand
That I am fine alone
I enjoy my solitude
I hate socializing
I am no people person
Society’s ways are taking a toll
On me
Always restricting on “what is acceptable to those around you”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s never about yourself nowadays
Because that’s being selfish<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s wrong to try and be the best version of myself
It’s wrong to want to move on from this life I’m living<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to move away
Sever all contact<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only to come back and realize that I have lost it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m at a lost at what to do
Should I give up my feelings for the likes of you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should I do.
What should I say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are statements I chant in my head every day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m struggling
I’m on the teetering edge
Of self destruction
Self denial
And self repressed, discipline<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m slowly fading away
Will you come and save me?
Or will you be too late?
Come and thank me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been put off your shoulders
And onto mine
Killing me on the inside
I hope your happy
I hope your proud
Because those words have lost their meaning for me once more<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m just the broken girl living on the hope of his return
To free my icey, stoney heart
From being shattered farther than it has before<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m just the broken girl
Waiting to be accepted and no longer feel alone<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As much as I hate it
As much as I want it
I have no need for it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve always been on my own<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been like that from the very start
I was born to live my life alone<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, not a loner
No, not an idealistic dreamer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, a fighter
Yes, a believer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To take the world onto my back
To have the weight of the world sitting onto my shoulders
Is it worth it?
Am I worth it if I turn out like you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All are questions asked
When carrying<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weight of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
