Have you ever wanted to cry yourself blind,
scream yourself mute, or just stop breathing

Have you ever wanted to run off the edge of the earth, swim to the bottom of the ocean, or just disappear

Have you ever wanted to punch your brain out, cut out your heart, or just stop feeling

Basically you wanted to die?

WANTED?
WANTED!

Wanted. As In past tense?

As In "not anymore"?

Good.

You wanted It, but that's not what you want

ER
Break ups aren't looking at the city's skyline and realizing a whole new world ahead of you
They're not being able to get out of bed because the sadness has consumed even your bones

They aren't eating ice cream while watching a chick flick with your friends
They're 7 pounds of weight disappearing in a week because all you want is the taste of their lips

They are not listening to a playlist of break-up songs and feeling better
They are not being able to hear anything but the sound of his voice when he gets out of your car for the last ******* time when he says "I'm sorry, thanks for the ride."

They are not quietly crying to yourself alone in your room
They're headaches from screaming hard your muscles ache

They are not about forgiving yourself
They're sleeping till one pm and going to bed at 3 am because you can't seem to stop thinking about all the things you should've said

They're not drowning yourself in ***** so you can forget
They're waking up in the middle of the night infuriated and screaming into your sheets "Why me?"

They are not having everyone support you
They are listening to the snippy girls in the hallway call you "pyscho" even though they have no idea you are holding back tears

They aren't being able to move on
They are watching you first love walk down the hallway looking at her they way he used to look at you and it feels like you just got shot but can't seem to die so you live with the pain

They are not looking at the world and still seeing light despite your darkness.
They are hours in your room thinking "if the person I care about the most isn't going to give a **** about me, then what is the point?"
In some parallel universe,
I hope when you broke up,
I invited you over and said,
listen to my voice, pretty girl,
and listen to my eyes
You gave it your best
and he tossed you to the wind
Here I am for you;
I never left
It's up to you, of course,
but I won't take you for granted
Won't you be mine, pretty girl?
And in this universe,
you said yes
my biggest fear isn't
little things like heights
or spiders or clowns,
my biggest fear is loosing
the ones I love the most.
I'm not one for boys who whisper sweet nothings into my ear & pass another girl & do the same thing,
I'm not a package
You can't ship me away when you get tired of me
Be strong
Be strong
Be heard
Be decisive
Believe in yourself
You can be whatever you want to be
Just believe it
Everything is what you make it  
  
I tell myself

And I keep telling myself I keep telling self I keep telling myself I keep telling myself I keep telling myself I keep telling myself I keep telling myself
