Imagine Trying Your Best Everyday

"Everyone tells me to stay strong. But I've got nothing to hold on".

Secrets, "Lost Cause"

I’m so fucking sick of being treated like shit over and over again simply for existing it wasn’t my choice and I’m really doing my best

Slipping into old familiar ways

That will take me to the same places

Places I don't want to be at

Places that hold my hand right into hell

I watch it happen from the outside

And I let it

Because I don't know another way

...

I’m toxic

I’m poison

I’m a disease

I’m a disorder

I’m a freak

I’m a burden

I’m a monster.

So how could anyone ever love this.

Disclaimer: actual calorie counts may vary depending on serving, brand, food tracker, etc.

I literally have no fucking clue who I am, sometimes I think I’m a super nice person who has been unfairly treated in life and that everyone should love me but other times I’m convinced I’m the most horrible person in the world who can’t possibly have any real friends and that I deserve all the suffering I’ve gone through as punishment for who I am.

The thing is I know I’m not worthy of friendship, kindness, or even love... but you made me believe that I could be for a moment, and when you left I remembered why I was alone in the first place.

Because I’m a waste of space and energy.
