push

god

it sometimes feels as if 

as if you hold the weight of the world

on your unworthy shoulders 

did i imagine you shooting me a dirty look

did the cosmos really choose me to live

why would they do that

why am I so different

why can't I be like everyone else 

why can't I just blend

like everyone else can do so easily

why is it such a struggle

to actually smile

even if I want to cry

why am I so self-absorbed

why does the music I play the only feeling I can get

why can't this "phase" pass

why can't you understand

why are you yelling at me

why can I just go to sleep

and never have to talk again
