I feel this, deeply
“I’m homesick all the time … I just don’t know where home is. There’s this promise of happiness out there. I know it. I even feel it sometimes. But it’s like chasing the moon - just when I think I have it, it disappears into the horizon.”

I wish someone could make me feel okay
Or, at least show me how to pack up all my burdens to deal with another day
I know no one owes me that, it's just nice to think about not having to take care of myself
Or to not be treated like a doll, treasured for mere moments, then left alone on a shelf
People often say "it's better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved at all"
But I don't believe that, when my love is held over me, used to make me feel small
I feel so disappointed, agitated, why couldn't I focus and get this done?
I was supposed to be better. Why does it feel like I'm back at step one?
The anxious buzzing swirls around me and doesn't seem to stop
It's like a never ending carousel, it'll keep spinning 'til I drop
-drop all my responsibilities, give up and run away
-away from all those telling me it'll all be okay
Cause it's not okay, I'm not okay. Don't lie and say I will be
In case you wanna know something I'll never know
I'm never sure when my friends and I will live, or die alone
Our whole God damn world is that much of a fucking mess
We can call me paranoid, blame it on anxiety
But we know the problems are sewn into our society
Will the rest of forever be filled with this much fucking stress?
I wanna hide from it all, run away
And I would, if things stopped getting in the way
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's so unfair
I fucking want these so bad ohmigosh
Am I just an idea
A sweet little thought?
Why couldn't I be your promise?
Why can your love only be bought?
Bought with my achievements
Bought with fake smiles and laughter
Why can't it be enough?
Why is your attention still all I'm after?
