When you see the evidence let your heart sink below the floor. There is no use in trying to pull it up because they are all stronger than you and they are pushing down
Spend as much time as you want formulating your questions, you pleas, your requests, but remember that all that time will be going to waste because they don't care never have, never will
Try not to feel bad for yourself because it is your fault after all. They'll never accept you after your past of failing to win their esteem
You can ask them what to do to be good enough but they will never respond. To them you are just a beggar in the streets
Go outside and try to smoke them out of you. Smoke the whole pack if you need to.
Don't you dare cry. Don't give them the satisfaction of knowing that they are strong enough to squeeze your lungs so small you don't have enough air to believe you are human
Get so drunk you don't remember their names. Drink and mark a notch in your arm for all the times you failed to be lovable, and cut one for the colors of each of their eyes
