Leave
I leave myself vulnerable
Because I wear my heart on my sleeve.
Anyone could come along
And hurt it somehow.
I leave myself vulnerable
Because I try so hard
And it hurts so bad to fail.
I leave myself vulnerable
Because I always get back up.
If you posted a cry for help,
A "I'm awake and hurting, who is up? I could really use a pick me up."
People would answer.
But would you appreciate them?
No, you wouldn't.
You've never been
That type of person.
You'd talk some sort of ****
About how they don't know
What they're doing.
You did this with friends,
With family,
With me.
And you'll continue the cycle
Until you're dying and alone.
If I did that,
People would answer,
Probably a little late,
But I'd appreciate the love and support
Nonetheless.
Because when I have an issue with someone,
I tell them.
And when someone tries to help me,
With good intentions,
I appreciate them.
I'm not saying I'm better than you,
But let's face it,
I'm a little bitter because of your lies,
And I'm still better than you.
When you're better off without someone but you still want to punt their head off their neck like a really ugly kickball.
Also, my fever FINALLY broke.
And my insomnia is kicking in.
Woohoo.
