Time

Hours go by,
sitting here all alone.
Wondering where I went wrong,
in this world.
This life demands perfection,
but I can't give it.
Always expected to help others,
but I can't even help myself.

Days go by,
sitting here all alone.
Feeling like a mistake,
nothing I do is good enough.
People demand so much  from me,
but I can never give it to them.
Things seem to get harder,
as time ticks on and on.

Weeks go by,
sitting here all alone.
I don't fit in anywhere,
always rejected.
Im just not wanted,
in this world.
No matter where I go, Im turned away.

Months go by,
 sitting here all alone.
No one to love me,
Im not worth it.
I demand myself to be better,
need to fit in.
I just want friends,
someone to care.

Years go by, 
sitting here all alone.
All the pressure is getting to me,
don't know how much more I can take.

So much time passes by,
But time doesn't always heal wounds.
Time creates scars,
scars are a reminder to the past.
