Do you ever wonder
if maybe
other people
feel
just a little more than you do
?

Vague thoughts
barely identifiable feelings
if I have any

Not depressed
not sad enough

Not unhappy
that would be too strong

Dysphoric, maybe

Distant, sure

But mostly just

not


quite


there
Why is it
So easy
To waste time?

Sometimes,
My life flashes by,
With red hearts and blue thumbs
Instead of real hearts and big hugs....

Because,
As much as I love you,
"I'm sorry girl, I just don't have time rn!!"



Why is it
So easy
To run away?

Sometimes,
I avoid the world
To ease my frustration.....

Because,
As much as I love you,
"That ***** girl, I can't help you rn!!"



Why is it
So easy
To be selfish?

Sometimes,
I do get tired
Of hearing your problems....

Because,
As much as I love you,
"*** my life is so brutal rn!!"



And why, why is it so hard
To put you first
When all I can think about is me?

Sometimes,
The Monster takes over,
And she just wants to be heard....

Because,
As much as I love you,
Sometimes I don't

put enough effort in,  that is!

I'm sorry I've been so out of it!
What were you saying?!
I am sorry.. I didn't mean to interrupt...
...Go on?
