Given Up
December 27, 2013
Every time I say 'I love you' it feels emptier.
It doesn't have the meaning it used to.
Maybe I don't mean it at all.
Sometimes I am joyed by you, but most times I regret you.
I regret trying, because every time I try we get nowhere.
We take 1 step forward and 2 steps back.
I'm getting dizzy from running in this circle of false hope.
I've given up, maybe you should too.

Family isn't always just by blood. Family are the people who love you immensely and would take a bullet for you. Family are the people who are willing to give their undying love and attention to you. But sometimes family can screw you over and make you feel like shit, that's some of the hardest parts to deal with, especially when you love them too much. At these times, you need to get away to the beautiful place in your mind, because that is where you are free.
