I’m not living anymore I’m just here Breathing Existing Waking up because I have to Not because I want to The truth is something inside me broke And no one noticed Not even the one I gave everything to I used to believe in love In building something real But now I just watch life pass me by People falling in love Getting married Starting families And I’m still stuck Left behind Wondering what’s so wrong with me that I keep ending up alone I wasn’t asking for perfect Just to be seen To be chosen To be loved without having to beg for it But now I don’t even feel human Just a body moving through days that all feel the same I laugh when I have to Smile so no one asks questions But deep down I’m tired Tired of pretending this doesn’t hurt Tired of acting like I’m okay I’m not I’m just trying to survive a life that doesn’t feel like mine anymore
