Having everything you need,
Shaming yourself for all the years,
Locking it all away,
Save it for a darker night,
All the voices that have said you have beauty,
It’s nothing when you do everything when no one watches,
Staying out of the spotlight because it hurts to stand alone,
All those dreams to not share,
That goal that was always in your head will forever remain there,
Not having you isn’t the pain that is going on,
The pressure under the ribs,
Under the heart,
Clawing at you,
Your mind trying to connect with your heart,
To register what you’re feeling,
All of it won’t be there,

You allow it,
I can’t say I’m sorry because time moves faster then you can make it,
The past is how you know your still here.
