You donโt understand, I donโt want any of it anymore. I donโt want happiness or love or success or anything. I need to stop living because thatโs the only thing that can make my pain go away. So no, you telling me to wait for good things doesnโt work. Donโt you get it, no matter what happens, itโs always going to hurt.
โItโs not that Iโm unloveable, itโs just that there are better people to love than me.โ

Everyone I've ever known has left me,
I've been left and abandoned and neglected
Like a hurt stray puppy on the side of the road
Was I not good enough? Or did they just never realise? Did I do something? They don't have to stay obviously. No one does. But why?
I don't blame them. I don't. I wouldn't stay for me either.
Can I just be enough for someone? Please. Can someone just stay? I don't know how much more abandonment I can take.
