I'm distracted.
Why did I let myself become so reliant
Dependent
So stupid
Ugh I'm so mad.
So mad.
I let myself become distracted by silly things I could want
I let myself want them
I thought it wasn't too far out-of-bounds but
Apparently
Who the heck would want to give them to me?
And I'm crumbling
Disgusted at myself
For letting dreams soar above reality
For letting myself fall so far down
I'll have to dig my way out
Painstakingly.
He left me in the dust
And years later, dropped our story like a heartbreak-shaped bomb in my inbox -
Will you do the same?
Yeah, self, why are you surprised?
This is dumb.
And then gone is the elation
The happiness
Why was I so happy?
Did I have a right to be?
No.
And I am sinking again
Even before the school year
Ugh school
Don't - can't do it
Birthdays
Not the birthdays
I don't want to think about it
And I'm supposed to talk about it
What the heck went wrong in the creation of me?
I was fine!
I was okay!
I'm supposed to be okay!
I need to be okay.
I can't function otherwise.
I am distracted.
I told myself no.
I told myself not to because what happens?
What happens then?
When you let yourself do it?
What happened last time?
And I ignored it all and yes, it was fun.
And yes, I don't know if I'll ever get over it.
I'm distracted and I'm angry at myself
Because I thought I knew the priorities
And I thought I knew not to let anyone matter to me
And look.
Look how he found a way.
Guess my walls weren't built up high enough.
Guess next time I have to shove them out as fast as possible
Before anyone can do anything.
And I play dumb games to take my mind off of other people
And I hide away in my room
And I refuse to come out
And I came out for him
Why, oh why.
I knew it. I knew it. I knew it would come back to haunt me.
I just didn't care.
Stupid.
Distracted and angry -
What's wrong with me?
