What We Seek and Do Not Find
Sometimes it makes me want to scream,this loneliness...
I'm the girl who goes unnoticed,
just a shadow of a person,
here when you need me
but somehow nonexistent.
In a room full of people,
I am the only one
who is un-alive.
I accept the fact that
I don't matter
but
GODDAMN
I wish I did.
I'm tired of being strong,
tired of pretending
that I don't need anyone,
that I'm happy to be alone.
The truth is,
I'm not strong at all;
I'm just afraid to reveal
my weaknesses.
I want to be loved.
I want to love.
I want to
FEEL something.
I want someone
to hold my hand
and tell me that I'm beautiful,
even if it isn't true.
I want someone to need me.
I want this silence to end.
I want
I want
I WANT!
I want to matter.
I don't want to pretend
to be strong
anymore.
I'm ready to be weak
and let someone in.
"It's easier to be hard
than it is to be soft."
I just want to matter
to someone.
