Hope You're Happy

The hurt gets worse, the more I try the more I fail. My once enlightened face has turned an ugly shade of pale. I can't be what anyone wants, no matter how hard I try. They continue on with their lives while I continue to cry. If I ever become what you want, please let me know. It's taking everything I have in me not to let go. Finding my place in this hell is not an easy task. What you see every day is a disguise, I wear a mask. You want me to change my ways, but it's not as easy as you make it out to be. I don't see why everything I do is wrong when you appear perfect to me. Things are progressively declining at an intense rate. All the happiness in my heart is quickly being flooded with hate. If I could just get up and go, believe me, I'd be gone. But for some odd reason, I persist to hold on. For no good purpose do I deserve this agony, it's just not fair. I'm getting to the point in all of this where I wonder if I should even care. They say it'll get better, it just takes time. But the troubles I'm having to deal with, I swear they're a crime. Nothing is good enough and it never will be. Living in this accusing world is not healthy for me. If I could escape it, don't think that I would stick around. I'm tired of all I say or do being shoved into the ground. So don't be surprised if I regret all that I do. But just so you know I feel this way all because of you. So while I sit here while my life continues to get crappy, I want you to know that you fucked up too so I hope you're happy.
