Even though we are so close my unique style always set me apart when it comes to you, my bright colors always made me be the first one they pick and you always second.
You didn’t care for how bright I was for with all that I had going on the outside you felt there is was something I was hiding in the inside and you just needed to know.
Even though we were different and people pick me most of the time you know how I feel towards you and that’s, that we are still there for each other in the end for I care for you my friend.
Even though I am so tired I want to walk to walk off my frustration from this day and from this week that is almost over.
How hard can I work when I physically feel my body aching and I get sick to my stomach when I think of going back, I know this is not normal but yet I put myself through this torture everyday and week.
I thought things were getting better but, now it feels like I’m living in hell full-time and there is no benefits.
Sometimes I know I’ve seen better days and I’ve felt better on better days.
Every bit of energy I got left inside of me is trying to hold on for there is still so much left for me to do that I just can’t be discarded right now.
But, in the eyes of some I have been discarded and thrown out with the rest of their memories.
And only when someone reminds them or mentions me do they remember who I am or who I was to them.
Old and tired here I stand looking around as the world goes by and new things replace me and yet here I am to remind you of the good old days and what those days meant to you.
I rather be right now than here in the darkness that swallows me whole with no exit insight.
I sit here trying to think of a way out because it feels like I’m suffocating on all that is pushing up against me.
This solution is not an answer to my situation and so I’m back at square one and it feels like I’m running out of time and air around me.
As I slowly fall down and down like black hole that you can’t see the bottom and so when will I hit the spot that tells me this is solved and over with.
Nothing to help me pull my way back up, right now it feels like a losing battle for me and as I fall I start to think about the things that have come before this moment and time.
Was there a time that I could have stopped myself from falling into this danger that just eats me alive and ends up with me being nothing in the end.
a little lost after spending so much time on the move that when one slows down.
It’s like I’ve missed so much while the people who demand so much of me don’t care as I lose myself for the person I see in the mirror these days are a stranger.
Her eye’s always looking so tired and sad that I wonder what others see when they see her every day.
Do they see her cry for help because all she wants to do is escape?
And not be trapped in this space of feeling like a stranger in her own body.
The sweet and innocent person is now so sad and angry or just too tired to care at all what she is.
Not letting anyone walk over her, she has become so hard.
It’s so hard to be soft towards anyone for her guard is always up now.
She feels like nothing good is coming from her new change and fears her sometime good time will soon turn into nothing but nasty and unfortunate events.
I observe you from afar and what I’ve learned is you are a person who has to put up a shield and hide certain things just to get through the day.
You are kind and sweet but certain things in your life has left you bitter and angry and as much as you want to fight the battle feels like a losing one.
The misery you feel just keeps growing day by day and you no longer smile like you used to.
You are broken and I so want to help you but, like everyone else, I am on the other side of the wall you put up to protect yourself.
The pain I see it flick every now and then through your sad and blank brown eyes, I want to so bad to erase that pain you feel for once and for all.
Maybe one day you will let me in and then things will be different between us and you will smile again and the wall will be down at least for me.
His actions surprised me with great wonder for he had not acted this way before.
So grumpy and quite rude that you just started to wonder what could have brought now this nasty mood change.
But, the situation to that problem would have to wait as you have so much on your plate to deal with now that you can’t stop and help brighten his mood today.
