There’s a constant yearning feeling, and a thought, so loud, in another’s voice. saying something disconcerting every time. how i’m insufficient, or how i’m embarrassing, saying i cant trust anyone else, making me feel like i cant trust myself. i truly don’t understand where other peoples motives lie, nor where my own. and i’m exhausted from trying so hard to prove myself everyday, and still falling short every time. i want so badly to be eased in the right direction. i want my hand held, i want the security of knowing that the world is more than just a place where i have to learn to be cruel and vindictive like everyone else. i want someone to actually care. to be kind. to teach me to be kind again. i don’t know, i hope one day i can look back at this and laugh, because i’m finally in a better place.

even if the finish line is far, or you have to push the car, keep on marching on.
