they quit you
you weren't enough for them
you weren't enough for yourself
you're not enough to look pretty for
to lose those pounds for
to dance for
to figure out your obsession about death for
to dig deep into your soul and cry for
to cry like you know you want to, need to
you quit yourself
you didn't take the high road
you didn't overcome the fucked up obstacles
you quit yourself
relationships
school
life
you quit yourself
you guided through until that someone came into your life
showed up
showed up for you
it's been a battle to keep the stamina
now
you see
you are enough for you
you can
you want
you want
you want
cry, weep, curl up into a ball and feel for God's sake
for your sake
be alive
choose to be alive
feel
the obsession with death
the death you feel inside is really you
it's always been you
little by little you piece it all together
feel alive
find out what gets you there

feeling, no matter what you feel, is what keeps people alive.
so often i want to turn it all off and slip away into apathy because i feel to much... but your right, its what makes me who i am and its what makes me alive.
thank you
