Sticky Note Thoughts
whens the last time i was genuinely happy?
when you held me close
so tight that i felt nothing but love
the whole world around me and all its problems vanished
but then theres that switch in my brain
that switch that turns it all around
made me realize you werent holding me
i held YOU.
at the time i needed you most i was YOUR support
helped you through one of the most difficult times of ¨your¨ life
weird how my brain works right?
my last time ¨genuinely happy¨
was helping you cope
while i was drowning in my own sadness
every muscle hurt from all the crying i did
i needed you but that wasnt important to you
you got the support you needed while i stayed here
stuck in a rut
in a never ending cycle of pain
but at least i got to imagine
how it might feel if you cared.
