I Don’t Need You
Until the world comes crashing down around you,
Until you can't keep track of reality,
Until you are ready to break..
Don't you dare tell me what you think,
Don't tell me everything is going to be okay,
Don't tell me you understand,
Don't tell me to get over it.
You don't understand a damn thing.
Do you understand how hard it is to get up in the morning?
Do you understand how hard it is to get dressed in something other than sweats?
Do you understand how hard it is to do anything with yourself?
Do you understand how hard it is to go into public and smile?
Do you understand how much I don't want to do anything?
Unless you understand how much my chest hurts,
From nights of crying myself to sleep,
Unless you understand that my brain can't focus on a thing,
Unless you understand that I am just so exhausted,
Physically,
Mentally,
Emotionally,
Unless you understand how I just don't care anymore.
I don't need your advice,
I don't need you to tell me it'll be alright,
I don't need you to coddle me,
I don't need you to feel sorry for me.
I'll be fine eventually,
I'll be able to smile and laugh,
Eventually you'll never even be able to tell anything was wrong in the first place.
I'll be able to breathe,
Finally..
