My best is half as good, But that is to be expected from a girl Whose parents never made her feel confident about living with a person For the rest of your life. I feel alone a lot, And I am dependent on human connection only when I start to feel misplaced by the universe. I think in terms of galaxies rather than people, Rather than in terms of me. I'm useless- But only because people can't use me. They don't want to. Why would they? My hurt is not very visible, But there is a lot of it in there. Sometimes I play connect the scars With my imagination, And I remember I've failed in every aspect of my life, Because I failed in one aspect of my life. I'm tired of motivational social media posts, And there are times where I don't like being around anyone. I do not know how I am supposed to live with a person for the Rest of my life. I love someone, But my best is half as good. I like sitting in the dark in my solitude, Because I feel like I'll be alone forever, and I am trying to prepare. I want to be prepared for it- So I can tell myself I'm happy, So I can tell myself I'm meant for it. I am tired of questioning if I can survive, Or if my bedroom is my safe space, If I will have this window view forever. I am here because I feel like I failed you, And if you are going to love me, You should know this is how I feel at 8:39 On a Good day. I'm tired because my Depression is still a piece of me and I'm Ignorant. I laugh about it, Because I do not want anything to be too serious anymore. I am a writer because I am Sad, I am creative because I am Sad, And you can't ever be Sad like me. I am watching lightning out my window And thinking, How beautiful would it be if I could do that for you? I cry a lot, More than normal, I think. I want to know if you are going to love me.
