Nothing I say comes out right
I was just being me
Laughing with a life
That otherwise would kill me

I’m dying
Because I rely on the world
I rely on other people
To make me smile
And so when then turn their backs
I wallow in shame

And I don’t know why
Some things make me laugh
And some make me fall
But when I fall
I fall so low
No one can ever see me anymore

And that’s good
Because I don’t want to be seen
I want something to hide behind
A wall to cry behind
A shelter from life
A place to be myself

I’m always in the way
And no matter what I say
I’m wrong
I’m stupid
And no one cares today

It’s raining
And there never seems to be
A parting in the clouds
At the right time
To let the sun shine through.

small insignificant useless me

This is very sad, and I too hope that if it is about you, that things get better for you soon.
