I’m So Unhappy, But You Just Can’t See It
my new year's resolution
was to stop crying in front of you
to stop letting you hurt me
so bad, so frustratingly
easy the way
my tears would flood
when you'd raise your voice
when you pursed your lips so tight
shouldn't feel scared, but i am and it
hurts because, you know, we're blood
and we're supposed to love each other
but we don't
we won't
and that's not okay
i'm not okay
i promise
i need to stop
those insignificant thoughts
plaguing my mind
screaming with spit in my face
"i hate you" "i hope you die"
and it makes we wanna throw up, daddy
mommy's in pain
because she's a doctor and yet she can't fix us
she might psychoanalyze
and tell me that its you, not me,
but that doesn't make me feel any better
knowing that my red blood cells
deserve white rooms and straight jackets
and group therapy with strangers
that have you eyes
your smile i haven't seen
in such a long time
fuck my promise
all i can do is sob
and wish you were here
telling me
you're okay
