You Might As Well Run Now

the day she came to town and never left

By Jessica TaylorPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

If he knew (truly knew) what I'm feeling, he would probably run; hell.... the thought I've had as of late...

I can't contend with her.. she's blonde, skinny and beautiful, but, more importantly she's active and social. I can't contend with her... she wins... hands down.... Every time, every round, every fucking day.

I don't feel worth the fight... I know I'm fat, I know I'm stupid, I know I'm ugly.... it doesn't matter how hard I try, I will never win. I've tried being all the things I am not, and even if I did he would never even notice anyway....

I've already lost, but I'll keep giving it my best shot.

Maybe one day he'll make me his priority, maybe one day he'll see me, maybe one day he'll love me, maybe one day I'll deserve him..... maybe... just maybe one day he'll come back to me.

But, for now, for this moment I'm pretty sure I've lost to HER.

About the Creator

Jessica Taylor

My deepest desire is to be able to help people; since I am too shy to be a professional speaker I decided that writing is my next best option. However, I do love the feel of the pen upon the page and the clicking of my keys on my keyboard.
