Conflicted
I feel so alone.
But everyone surrounds me.
My heart feels empty.
But I have people who love me.
I’m smiling.
But, I’m silently sobbing.
I want to courageously die.
Yet, I am cowardly living.
It hurts.
But, I’m not bleeding.
It bleeds.
But I’m not dying.
I’m alive.
But I’m just dead inside.
But everyone surrounds me.
My heart feels empty.
But I have people who love me.
I’m smiling.
But, I’m silently sobbing.
I want to courageously die.
Yet, I am cowardly living.
It hurts.
But, I’m not bleeding.
It bleeds.
But I’m not dying.
I’m alive.
But I’m just dead inside.
