Being told what to do, but no one bothers to listen to you.
Making plans that get my hopes up just to have them canceled.
I feel like I haven’t had a smile on my face in days.
There’s a pain and annoyance that just won’t go away.
***
Feeling like a kid, but no one does anything to help you.
Wishing I could go back to when I was five.
Now it’s $3.69 a gallon just to get gas to drive.
***
It feels like no one listens, even though they claim they do.
I already felt alone; now it’s also this way around the ones I’m closest to.
***
Money’s due for the phone and car.
I can’t afford either one.
But without them, I can’t get far.
***
“You can’t drive a car without insurance.”
But what can I do?
I haven’t been paid, yet the money is due.
No one’s willing to give me a ride or simply help.
But when it’s for them, they give me hell.
***
I want to buy a dress for an upcoming event.
But when my car gets towed away for not being paid,
everyone will say, “Oh man, that sucks.”
***
They’re screaming, arguing, and speaking over each other.
But when the silence sneaks in, you know it’s not over.
I’ve been silent for days, yet no one’s noticed.
It makes me wonder if people truly give a shit.
***
It feels like the world is spinning, and I’m just standing still.
I never understood why life gets like this.
And there’s a chance I never will.
***
It’s hard enough when no one listens to you.
And it’s even harder when you don’t know what to do.
***
I’m sick of life and wishing all the chaos would stop.
Maybe, for once, I’ll be the one on top.
But I know it’s not going to happen.
***
I get into arguments, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
No matter what happens, I get the short end of the stick.
***
It sucks when you’re older.
You learn that people don’t give a shit.
You have to be on your own for every little thing.
And people don’t realize you’re alone in the ring.
***
I wish things just got easier.
But the more I ask,
the more work has to go in.
I can’t even say my side without you throwing a dig.
***
I’m sick of the world, and I’m sick of all the long days.
When will something just simply go my way?
Until then, I’ll keep pushing through
because that’s what I was raised to do.
But for those reading,
and for those who can’t relate,
look at your friends who have grown quiet.
They’re the ones truly in pain.
