No, don't say that
You don't get to say you're "sad"
I know all suffering is valid
No matter the magnitude
HOWEVER--
Don't you ******* pretend like you KNOW
Like you ******* know anything about how empty
Life can be.
Like you feel anything as close to how empty I feel every single day
What's it's like to live your life on the verge of tears
Aching on that precipice
Holding that urge to cry just beneath the surface of you, constantly.
You can't honestly think anyone can take you seriously
When you sit there in your comfortable, uncomplicated life
Having everything I ever wished for
Having everything you and I know I'll never have
And pretend like you feel an emotion like despair.
Look at you, surrounded,
******* inundated with family and friends and a boyfriend who all love you,
They love you ******* it
Do you even know?
Do you know what it's like to go home
To an empty room
To an empty heart?
You don't know, you'll never know,
You'll never have to feel as lost and invisible and ******* broken as some of us
So you need to learn to be more ******* precise
With your language.
