Hopeless
I can’t help thinking it will never happen.
Not here, the place I entrusted with every wish.
I’ve found it so hard to adapt in.
A life is not something I know how to establish.
I know that I can hardly say that I’m trying;
Being stationary is my habit.
I’d much prefer the ground to flying,
But down in the dirt I’ll never grab it.
I can’t help thinking it will never happen
Not with him, even though I hoped.
Reality is different from what I imagined.
I guess it’s alone that I will have to cope.
He cares, but I’ll always wish for more.
I’m afraid he’d think I was needy if I asked for advice.
There is one thing I now know in my core:
All good things come with a price.
I can’t help thinking it will never happen.
Not with them, not with anyone at all.
My days are just continuing to blacken.
Can I please just curl up into a ball?
The fact is I don’t know how to be me anymore.
So I’ll just fade until there is nothing left.
I’m the one who is quickly outworn.
Diminished, broken down, bereft.
On a day like this when I only see in gray,
The only thing that gets me by
Is to pretend it won’t stay.
