When It All Comes Crashing Down

What it feels like when it all comes crashing down...

lost .. Lonely in a crowd and not knowing where you are going.

Like nobody cares about you.

Like no one understands your pain.

Like no one is there for you.

Like why am I still on this planet?

Like what will happen next?

Like why doesn’t it all just go away?

Like how do you tell people what you are feeling?

Like who wants to really listen?

Like when it is mine turn to be happy?

Like is this the pain I have to feel to feel happiness?

Sleep don't come and thoughts do.

Painful thoughts that no one wants to hear.

Smoke too much.

Sleep too little.

Angry at everyone and no one understands.
