Never felt so pathetic No that’s a lie I feel pathetic every single day But today it somehow felt worse I was at a party A few drinks in me And everything I feel daily Just felt heightened Like the loneliness oozed from my fingertips And the sadness sank me to my knees And the emptiness filled my lungs I was far enough gone Not to care who saw me at my worst But not far enough to finally forget who I am It just confirmed what I already knew That I’m simply pathetic, with or without alcohol

Pathetic
Never felt so pathetic No that’s a lie I feel pathetic every single day But today it somehow felt worse I was at a party A few drinks in me And everything I feel daily Just felt heightened Like the loneliness oozed from my fingertips And the sadness sank me to my knees And the emptiness filled my lungs I was far enough gone Not to care who saw me at my worst But not far enough to finally forget who I am It just confirmed what I already knew That I’m simply pathetic, with or without alcohol
A colleague at the party asked me, without malice: 'Do you ever just let go, stop caring what people think, and have fun?' And i crawled deep in my shell and my demons waged war in my head.
