once you told me
to stop feeling sorry
for myself and just
get up and pull
myself together
you told me there
are people out there
feeling worse than me
and my problems are
nothing compared to others
you don’t know that
everyday is a struggle
my problems are bigger
than they might seem
you pushed me and
you pressured me to
get up and forget
about everything and move
on
you made me go
through hours, days, months
hurting and in pain
i never came through
that pain it’s still
stuck inside of me
now i’m stuck here
more in pain than
ever
you forgot me and
you left me behind
where did you go?
where are you now?
