Sorry

Dear little me,
I never meant to fail. 
Who knew this would be our life?
Please continue to try to prevail

If you don't you'll regret everything
You'll start giving up on your passions
You'll become super depressed
And even stop eating your rations

Now.. You don't really smile.
What happened to being happy?
I thought my life was together.
This wasn't who I wanted to be.

I want to be joyful, 
Not always sad.
Now you cry a lot,
Even when you're mad

I'm just a circle,
Everyone else is a square.
Why am I so different?
Do I belong anywhere?

My depression keeps repossessing,
I still take everything to heart.
But now I'm also stressing
And everyday I fall apart.

I still try to be positive,
I honestly do.
But it's rather hard
When people take advantage of you.

So I stopped listening to my heart
And let my brain take control
Now my heart is colder
And the worlds still dull

But that's okay I guess
Because we feel less pain
Your best friend's your doubt
And your depression is your gain.

So now I'm apologizing
To four year old me.
Because I wasn't good enough
To be who you wanted to be.
