Faking It

Let me have my weak moments let me see it grey. What does it do to you to let me feel this way.
Ā I have dedicated my life to making others feel okay, but truly do you honestly have to make me play. A part of a person a smile that is fake, a feeling of aversion to every breath I take. If it is that you see me as here just for you? Doesnā€™t it matter that in my heart Iā€™m blue.
I feel deserted that you canā€™t understand
Ā or at least try to, I donā€™t need you to hold my hand. It is a misconception and a big one at that depression is self-pitying and weak.
Ā Or by other descriptions some people say your bleak. It is unhappiness and the only way to describe is a feeling of dread. Really hating the person that you are.
Am I making any sense Iā€™m emotionless and flat because the new pills Iā€™m on make me feel like that.
When really you can only try to tell the truth of why criticism makes me aloof.
So sorry I am unhappy and sorry Iā€™m a mess, Iā€™m trying to change it and tryin do my best. You tell me you I need to smile a little more so I plaster one on as I enter the door.
My mother she feels that Iā€™m rather weak. If only If I could transfer the feeling of true inner peace. Where do you buy it can I find the store? But really, itā€™s exhausting and Iā€™ve always felt a freak.
Some glide through lives that seem beautifully drawn mine seems a messy weed riddled lawn.
I sound like Iā€™m envious maybe I am but really only want to try to communicate my feelings Something has to change, and I need to do the work and I am getting better but itā€™s easy to revert.
Back to the old feelings of not being worthy of your love or your time or even the sky above.
Itā€™s not frigging easy Iā€™m over it I guess. I think Hey just try and do my best -And fake itĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā  Ā Ā
