numb

by @squid-ink

some people feel anxious a lot some people feel overly tired all the time some people have anger issues some people enjoy life some people are happy, or sad, or mad but i am numb when i wake up, i am numb i stay in my room because i feel numb i cry to try and feel something, anything but i suddenly stop because feelings are exhausting i hate going to school because my friends give me shit i already get enough at home, i dont need it here too its like everyone has their place in this school and im floating around groups its hard to be happy when you work so hard to make everyone else happy its hard to laugh when youre always making sure everyone else is laughing they dont realize how easy it is to fake a smile to tell a lie for the sake of their feelings to act like you are just fine they dont realize that when i look the happiest is when i feel the numbest
