You think too much about people who care too little.
You believe in love but you also fear it.
You look forward to something you dont even see to be in your future.
Look Catalog
When all youve known is heartbreak, its takes strength to believe in anything else.
You know you deserve it but there are moments you dont think itll ever come your way.
When youre strong but youre tired you just want to give up.
Look Catalog
You just want to walk away.
Stop feeling everything so deeply to the core.
Its the tears you cry at night that no one knows of.
You smile and go through the motions because you have to.
So you keep pushing through this pain of everything you are feeling.
Its like the weight of the world is on your shoulders only no one sees it.
No one is offering to help.
When you make it look easy its hard for anyone to see.
When you make it look easy everyone thinks you could handle it.
But part of you wants to just fall to your knees because youre only human.
Youre stronger than you even realize.
Youre stronger than people give you credit for.
Its unkindness people show you and you dont even flinch or respond.
And while it hurts sometimes and words break your heart, you choose to not retaliate.
You know responding will only make it worse.
So you keep your head down in silence and just keep fighting.
No one knows how mean people are but you see it every day.
But you choose to not repeat the cycle.
That takes strength.To look at yourself in the mirror and not feed into it means youre ahead of them.
It takes strength to believe in people when youve seen them at their worst.
It takes strength to believe in love when you are crying yourself to sleep over someone who hurt you.
It takes strength to believe in yourself when everyone is doubting every choice you make.
And I know what its like to be tired of being that strong.
Youre tired of getting hurt.
Youre tired of getting disappointed.
Youre tired of giving your best only to watch people take advantage of it.
Youre tired of everyone waiting for you to make one mistake.
And how easily they forget everything you did right before that.Then you blame yourself because you arent perfect.
But everyone expects you to not make any sort of mistake.
Youre tired of expecting the worst of everyone and everything then watching it become reality.
Youre tired of everyone judging you and telling you how you should be living your life.
When youre doing your absolute best but for some reason, it falls short.
When you lose yourself trying to like others nothing about it is easy.
Its exhausting to be the bigger person.
Its exhausting caring about people as much as you do.
Its exhausting staying up late overthinking every mistake wishing you could just make it right.
But you dont know how to change aheart like yoursto do anything different.
Because all of it comes so naturally to you.
I know how hard it is to be that strong for everyone.
I know how hard it is to care so deeply.
People like you will always know pain at a level deeper than others.
People like you will always hurt a little more when it isnt your pain to feel.
People like you will always know this darkness that others never will.
Value being a person like that.
Appreciate a heart that cares so deeply when others have grown cold.
As much as it hurts sometimes, its people like you that changes others.
Its the genuine good you bring to the world that fills others with hope and light.
There is something rare about someone like you.
There is something beautiful that you dont see in yourself.
But every else does.
You are the hope they look for when all is lost.
You are the good the world needs, in one that is ugly and mean.
So I ask you do not change.
Do not allow pain to make you feel so depleted.
I ask you not to change because the world needs more people like you.
So keep fighting as hard as you oughta and know you arent alone.
