how?
how is it my fault i feel the way i do
my parents think it is, and sometimes i do too
my friends have no clue what i'm going through
is this the battle i need to fight alone
the sadness i feel is forigen, happiness is all i've ever known
sometimes i feel like i'm split in two, myself and a clone
this close has inhibited my body, shifting my mood
i ignore the hunger in my stomach, no longer wanting food
i feel so insecure staring at my body nude
i just want to rid myself of this endless spiral my life has become
i haven't eaten and enjoyed it not even a crumb
it's hard to feel anything when you've fallen into a slum
the constant disappointment that i feel, and that i am
barley finishing work, stuck, in what feels like a traffic jam
so full but so empty like an email full of spam
how is it that no one hears my scream
but as they say things are not as they seem
the one sided help seems to be a constant theme
its weird that not long before i was happy, a dreamt
this cycle i've experienced has ruined my self-esteem
and now the question is when will i feel better
it certainly won't be soon, but i hope this int forever
i'll have to cover my ugly self-inflicted scars with a sweater
but to feel like light again,
and these are my reasons for this letter.
