Shattered Heart

Do you know how it feels to be 
No one's first priority?

The feeling of being alone
While your friends are falling in love.
The time when you needed support 
But no one was there to. 
The anxiety of being accused 
When you did nothing wrong. 
The fear of getting rejected 
By the one you love. 
The pain of getting backstabbed 
By your very close ones'. 
The times when you cried 
But no one really cared about it. 
The way you felt lonely
On every class break.
The fear of losing your best friend 
Because of another person. 
The feeling of getting famous 
For things that were not true. 
The sadness that comes when 
No one feels like themselves. 
The thought of accepting your fate 
Because nothing is going to change. 
The way you feel depressed 
Because of another person. 
The time when you did things 
For others, but it's all wasted. 
The pain that you felt in your chest
When all these things happened.

And you know what? 
Those are signs telling you 
To live for yourself 
And not for others.

I love the ending choosing yourself isn’t selfish; it’s necessary for survival. This is a powerful shift from pain to self-reclamation.??
