How do people do it?
How do they stay alive?
There’s nothing there
There’s nothing here
It’s cold and it’s empty
It’s lonely here
I’m so... I’m so alone...
And it’s breaking me
Because I can’t see it
I can’t see myself being happy
I can’t see myself loving someone
I can’t see myself with a career
I can’t see myself smiling sincerely again
Because every **** thing inside me
It’s in agony
It hurts to see people laugh
It hurts to see them together
It hurts to see them motivated
It hurts to see them hope
It hurts to see them love
Because it’s such a deeply painful reminder
That I don’t have those things
And I don’t think I ever will
I see myself alone
Struggling
Medicated
And perpetually suffering

So I just... I just don’t get it...
How do people do it?
How do they stay alive?
How do they enjoy anything?
I don’t.... I don’t understand...
