I tried?

Things haven't gone my way
I put two years in the mix
But luck wasnt on my side they say
There is now too much to fix

Too many lost expecatations
"Just a disappointment"
Starting over
was not my intent

It hurts 
More than anything
Looking at all of them
Succeding
And still pretending
To smile happily at everything

How do I make out 
A silver lining in this cloud
It has swallowed me whole
I want to scream
There's nobody to hear

Empty chaos runs inside me
The volcano is ready to erupt
I can't control it
An awaited catastrophy

My face wants to break
Into a thousand pieces
My wrists want to bleed
Save me for the stichtes

I have pulled out all my hairs
My head is swollen
Slammed into a wall
Outside a smiling face
Inside a broken doll

I can't do it
I don't deserve happiness
I am happy with regret.
