I’m tired of being alone,
Letting myself fall back into depression.
Sometimes I wish somebody
Would love me.
My family is great,
But they don’t realize my pain.
I wish somebody
Would miss me.
I feel sad.
I need someone to care,
Or pretend to, at least.
Please?
Maybe it’s a “phase”
Maybe one day I won’t be lonely.
That one day, someone, who cares,
Will be brave enough to hug me.
Could someone possibly tell me,
I’m all they’ve ever wanted?
Tell me I’m gorgeous,
And say I’m the only person,
Perfect enough for them?
Not now at least.
Probably never.
Could be close.
I’m not sure.
Maybe someone will adore me,
As much as I adore them.
Hopefully, they won’t have
To pretend.
