It's You vs The Whole World

I build a home in people,
And people leave.
My story never matches,
With the writer of destiny.

The moment you realise,
It's you versus the whole world,
You stop explaining your tears.

I don't know why people treat me
Like I have no feelings,
When I feel everything,
A little too much.

I asked for love,
They gave me lessons.
I asked for stay,
They gave me goodbyes.

Still, I write.
Because my diary never left.
