"It's just so hard to live with someone who is         so ******* miserable         all the ******* time." "He's always been such a frustratingly         depressing guy." "I don't like you." "You do nothing. You're useless." "What do you mean, you feel like a failure?         Never mind. I don't want to talk         about that." "You've got so much potential." "Well, you're a ray of ******* sunshine." "Have you tried being happy?" "You're giving off vibes of tension and         frustration." "The kids are scared of you." "Jesus! What are you so sad about?!" They're not wrong. Eggshells,         eggshells,                 step gently around Joe. I don't bring joy,     and I don't get more likeable. I am miserable.         I just wish I didn't bring others                 down with me. No, they're not wrong, but I really wish they were.

sad sack
"I'm laughing, I'm crying It feels like I'm dying" All the times I sit at the edge of my table Thinking I'll be able To break my face on it My cute prepared outfit White turned red Like they said I should just die No one would show up to my party of tears Three cheers for broken hearts

pity party
Poverty levels are miles above me. Haven't eaten for days, but the child's tummy is happy. That's all that really matters, right? Stolen vehicles and slinging to get by, selling myself and losing my mind an inch at a time. But, I'm clean in too many ways. Greed and snapping jaws trained at me. Every angle of escape blocked, this is my Destiny. I chose the wrong hearts to trust. I gave a mile. I lost it all. Though I want to give up, I just can't afford to blow. I'll feign strength and plastered      happiness. Block it all like I've done in the past. One day I'll be blessed with death, and I'll rejoice in the simple      emptiness.

Bitter
Abondonment is expected Maybe even created Self fullfiled prophecy or Destiny? Exhausted from the rage Incapable of withstanding this, Your eternal storm. Trapped as always Bound to yet another villain Growing crueler as I strengthen I think I forgot how to cry This well of sadness won't release Maybe I'll simply disappear tonight

Flee
You came to me with powdered knuckles, you knew it was my poison. You were raised on horse so we thought, 'This won't be a problem.' It feels like the sound Of a million angels singing. Doubts explode in the brain, but the high makes you ignore them. I knew I had to be stronger than the last time that I slipped. I handled my **** finished the manuscript, but you just kept exceeding. I always knew compassion would one day be my downfall. You filled your nose, hid new hoes And I just kept abiding. Losses began to trickle in. You saw you weren't so hard. To be honest From what I've witnessed None of the gangsters are. I caught you in a tryst while lies bled from you lips. Panic attacks and shiny blades returned to being my usual ways. I warned you from the start, but bulls rarely listen. The lines crossed you and you felt used. Shameful, you grew twisted. Torn and mangled, Depleted and abused- Here's to forsaken me and my nameless muse.

******* and curses
You've never felt more self pity and embarrassment in school until You've walked down the halls Eyes brimmed with tears you fight to hold in all day and the Inability to tell anyone what's going on because you know what Has made you feel this way but It all is just too much and putting It in word would force the breath Out of your lungs and the water out of your eyes.

Pity walk
the dark is like a cup of youth a nostalgic omnipresence that never fades always the same at the end of every day but no walls can keep me protected from the thoughts that the dark brings like unwanted guests to a pity party we belong to the dark born in the dark erased in the dark never felt so alive entrenched in black yet so dead because closing my eyes does nothing to the sheet that lays over my eyes where there is no light to hide from the waking world
