I’m losing it

I bet you all will read it and go on your merry way

I am so happy

Lalalala

I’m

Singing and laughing

There’s fresh air and music up there too

It’s so sweet, to live

I am slowly dying alive

I mean it

I’m dying slowly inside

With a loud laugh

A smile

It’s easy to feel like you’re lonely

In a sea full of lonely people

Who know you’re lonely

But pretend you’re happy

And you can’t do anything to change it

Because then you’ll be selfish

You’re cruel to show your pain

When everyone is so so happy

And there’s no reason to be sad, not to any of them, they don’t want to understand

They’ve all suffered enough too. Let them be grateful to be happy

But it’s

you

I’m

Missingmorethananything

I’m

Fine.
