FaultyWiring

I hurt when those I love are hurting
I love many people in many ways
I hate not being able to help
I suffer silently so others don't have to

I cry more and more lately

I fear losing loved ones
I hope that things will change
I sadden when I think what wont be
I feel alone even when I'm with people

I think there's something wrong with me

I listen to everyone
I talk to myself
I see the emptiness
I smell missed opportunities

I break down

I taste failure more than success
I work to make myself believe things are okay
I remember long talks and long walks
I hold the dreams that I wont let die

I hide within myself

I pray when I want more than I can accomplish on my own
I walk in the wrong direction at times
I read too much into simple statements
I breathe silently so not to be heard

I wish I were the one I loved

I play at being a real woman
I want more than I can have
I touch the outer layers of emotion
I learn too little and too much all at once

I feel discontent

I know that all is not lost
I hear anger and selfishness
I dream of a future I am not certain of
I have little to my name, but a lot to give

I burn to be someone else

I fall because I let myself fall
I wait for the right moment silently
I live moment to moment
I miss the good old days

I need self love

I lie to protect the other persons feelings
I worry too much about what others think
I rely on too many people
I die a little more every second

I try to walk in other people's shoes
I say 'If the shoe fits, wear it. If not, toss it'

I am me.
Walk a mile in my shoes.
