they told me i was strong. they told me i would make it. they told me i wasn't sad. they told me i was faking it. they told me i was wrong. they told me i was stupid. pathetic. alone. they abandoned me. so i stood at the end of the world, glancing down into the abyss. they came along and gasped in fear, trying to talk me down from there. they told me i was loved. they told me i wasn't alone. they told me i was special. but they only cared for the moment. because after the rush was gone, and i came down from the sky, they wandered off, leaving me on my own. leaving me to die.
