I’m not living anymore
I’m just here
Breathing
Existing
Waking up because I have to
Not because I want to

The truth is something inside me broke
And no one noticed
Not even the one I gave everything to

I used to believe in love
In building something real
But now I just watch life pass me by
People falling in love
Getting married
Starting families
And I’m still stuck
Left behind
Wondering what’s so wrong with me that I keep ending up alone

I wasn’t asking for perfect
Just to be seen
To be chosen
To be loved without having to beg for it

But now I don’t even feel human
Just a body moving through days that all feel the same
I laugh when I have to
Smile so no one asks questions
But deep down
I’m tired
Tired of pretending this doesn’t hurt
Tired of acting like I’m okay

I’m not
I’m just trying to survive a life that doesn’t feel like mine anymore
