Remembering brighter days
Thinking you know someone
When you really don’t know them at all.
Thinking your friends with someone
Only to find out that you mean NOTHING to them.
Feeling so many things at once
Not being able to make sense of any of them.
Not knowing what to do.
The only thing you do know
Is that you want it all to stop
That you want to be happy
But it seems like there are people…
Who will do anything in their power to make you miserable
Just because they’re not happy
They don’t want anyone else to be either.
Crying
Screaming
Begging
And
PLEADING for it to stop
Until finally you become numb.
You feel NOTHING
And you become the one thing so many people have accused you of being
You finally become what they made you.
You become cold hearted
Uncaring
Selfish
Bitter
Closed off
And
Unfeeling
You become the monster they portrayed you to be
All the while remembering a time when you thought those people actually cared

I wrote this after having a fight with someone I thought was my friend. That night my emotions were in a turmoil so I put everything down on paper as best as I could and that ended up in me writing Remembering brighter days
