To Bother

01.09.19

By Shai DuncanPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I sometimes scream without making any noise because I don't want to bother people.

I like to cry in the shower because no one will bother me.

I can only think of two nice things to say about myself and that bothers me because I thought I loved myself more than that.

I wish people would listen when I tell them I'm hurting because I'll only bother once.

I say sorry after crying because, well, I'm sorry for bothering you with my pain.
