WHY

by Candycane

I have always “enjoyed” making sure everyone else was happy I can’t seem to shake this feeling I have tried and tried My friends don’t approve My family doesn’t know My mind says my heart doesn’t matter My heart believes it I try and try and try again I am numb inside I don’t know what feelings are I used to never have them I shattered inside along time ago I used to feel everything Sometimes too much even I don’t know what to do anymore My boyfriend doesn’t understand He never had what I have He had the perfect life I told him again and again I tried to help him to understand Nothing, nothing, nothing He stopped for a while He slowly began to forget Maybe on purpose I know not I told my friends They wanted him gone I tried and tried to get them to calm I wanted to make everyone happy I can not keep my friends and him straight I couldn’t do it It causes me pain again and again Each and everyday they fight and fight Everyday without fail He tries to steal me away because he believes we get no time today He blames me for not being able to do these things I am simply trying to keep everyone happy And I feel pain I don’t understand
