She was told to be sensitive

told to be kind

that's how you make friends that last through time

She wasn't told how her heart would break

when someone picks everything up and walks away

She she tried to make friends

find someone new

But it always felt as if they were playing a game

She just didn't know the rules to

She was told to trust, told to love

but repeatedly she was shattered and

left to question the validity of love

To everyone it seemed

She was a second option, a means to an end

when all she ever wanted was a real friend

She was told it was worth it, or that it would be

but she was just so very tired of

drowning in terrifying dreams

She learned how to be alone, that wasn't the problem

it was what happened to the demons in her head

when there was no one to help her fight them

Her mother told her to be strong

that she always had family

but she had mindcrushing sadness and

an unrepairable sanity

So dont be kind or sensitive

I plead

all people ever do is leave
