i'm tired of trying trying to feel okay, to even look okay. it's so draining there's no point, you told me to try for you, if not for me. i'm trying SO hard for you im exhausted i'm slowly heading back into that darkness- that emptiness the sinking feelings inside the feeling of being lost the knowing the knowing that there's no hope for me you said if i tried hard enough i'd be happy im trying my hardest, and i haven't found him yet. i haven't found the happy me. you told me to stay for you you told me i belonged here still is this what you asked for? you asked for me to stay. the me that's here isn't what you wanted back. i'm empty, and i can't keep kidding myself. i can't keep kidding you. i can't give you the happy me you wanted back.
