Overlook
June 6, 2012
You make me feel so low sometimes
And you wonder why I turn to others
You cling onto me jokingly
But in all seriousness, it bothers
I wish we can just be honestly close
Not just close, but able to click
Instead you act like a prick
It hurts to say the way I feel
Because I know you are so much more than what surfaces
I love you, I really do
But sometimes you make me feel like a fool
Like you’re using me
And I am not an adequate tool
I overlook the things you say and do
Just so I can make you happy
And that is sometimes a difficult task
Because the aching of inadequacy in my brain
Is driving me insane
I know I point out the obvious
I know that I’m stupid…I know I’m a fool
But why do you have to be so cruel?
Is this how it will always be?
And why can’t I cling elsewhere?
Without you hurt?
I can’t live my entire life making you happy
We all want to be content
I can’t leave the others behind
Sometimes I feel like you’re bent
On just you and me…
Or maybe it’s not me at all
Maybe it was never me…
I guess I overlook things too much to see
