It's Sad

Its sad 
Its sad when all of the emotions you feel inside
You cant cant put into words no matter how hard you try 
Everytime you try you become tongue tied
Its sad that everyone around you thinks you’re fine
When you can feel yourself leaking of all the emotions you’re pushing to the side
Its sad when you can feel yourself slowly slipping from who you once were
Its sad that you are such a great actor that your emotions slip from you…
Leaving you numb
Its sad when you’ll all of a sudden become overwhelmed 
Overwhelmed with thoughts of harming yourself or someone else
With thoughts of not being enough 
With thoughts of just disappearing 
With thoughts of if your favorite person hates you or is using you 
Or that you’re just not good enough of them 
Or anyone
It’s sad that everytime you look in the mirror you can’t stand looking at the person staring right back at you
You just see a hideous creature 
Its sad that at any inconvenience you resort in damaging yourself 
Rather it be slashing at your thighs and wrist 
Or doing drugs and drinking 
Its sad that looking at those scars is just a constant reminder of how much of a screw up you are
Its truly sad watching your life just slip from under your fingertips
Slowly losing interest in things you used to love to do 
Slowly losing all your friends 
It honestly sad when you can’t be happy 
When there is nothing wrong 
You’re completely fine 
It’s so sad watching your life fade
