I sit,
Watch,
Wondering how you could do this to me
And I don't get it.
I don't understand.
Why?
Why do you do this to me?
Did I do something wrong?
Do I somehow deserve this hatred?
Or are you just mean?
And I can't understand.
I can't force myself to be okay again.
And so my life sucks.
Right now,
My life is s***.
And I can't bring myself to believe
That somehow it will ever be any different.
And suddenly,
It is no longer worth living;
No longer worth feeling this pain.
So I quit.
I give up.

I am so done with guys who won't even acknowledge that maybe i'm more than just a girl who wears black all the time. They need to start realizing that maybe they're the reason. Whatever. I'm done.

I have a feeling that many relate to this.

 

 It just isn't worth it anymore.
