Pain Liking somebody and them never liking you back They can light a fire in your heart But you can’t even make a spark in theirs It hurts to know that They will never look at you The way you look at them Your heart stops every time you look at them You can't breathe and your heart races Your hands sweat and the world freezes But for them nothing is going on Everything is normal They feel the same They will never know the pain you go through Every single day You imagine all these things Being with them and being able to call them yours But reality kicks in And ruins your life Pain The feeling you get In your chest When your friend tells you we should take a break Everyday they send you through a roller coasters That will never end One day they act like your best friend The next they hate you They get mad at you for talking to them Then they get mad at you for not talking to you They will never understand The pain you go through Roller coaster of emotions they put you through You think it's fine one day Then it goes back down hill And you wonder will it ever get better But you get tired of waiting and wondering Will the scars ever be fixed Or will they be opened again Slowly bleeding out Like a knife in your chest That constantly gets twisted Over and over and over again Pain |

Things You Realize When You Are Grown Growing up, I always loved playing outside Running around, the cool breeze blowing my hair Feeling the warm sun on my skin Now that I am grown up, I rarely have time to spend time outside Working right after school, doing homework as soon as I get home On my laptop whenever I have time Growing up, sleeping was my least favorite thing to do Staying up as late as I could, never taking naps during nap time Always having so much energy Now that I am grown up, sleeping is all I do Taking a nap whenever I have a chance, always tired Going to bed as early as I can Growing up, losing people was never a thought I saw my best friends all the time, telling each other secrets I was constantly with my siblings Now that I am grown up, I have lost more people than I can count Drifting apart from so many friends, having nothing to say Barley seeing my siblings who have moved away Now that I am grown up, I wish I could be growing up again |
