endless days. — Summary

Days on end, sitting in a room full of people. Not indulging in anyone but myself. Why would i? No one here knows me or cares to try. endless days. "I won't forget" I say with my head flooded with thoughts. thoughts of not being enough, not having enough material items, and not giving enough. though i try to be the best version of myself, the truth is i'm a replica of my parents. Another day. Living. Not for myself. And not as myself. Because i don't deserve it, but the few people who do try to care deserve everything. though i'm not 'everything' I'll still stay. so they don't know the pain i've experienced. Someone you love dying while you're on bad terms. And missing someone you grew up with, will hurt wether you were close or not. today and tomorrow. I live to be someone's "everything" as myself one day.

The speaker feels invisible and not good enough. They sit among people day after day, but no one knows them or tries to, so the days blur into one long stretch of isolation. Their mind fills with worries about not having enough, not giving enough, and being only a copy of their parents. Even their effort to be their best self feels like it falls short.

Underneath the numbness is real grief. The speaker mentions losing someone they loved while on bad terms, and missing someone they grew up with, a pain that doesn't depend on how close they were. They stay for the few people who care, even though they don't believe they deserve that care themselves. The ending, though, holds a thread of hope: they want to live as themselves and one day be someone's "everything." The mood is heavy, tired and quietly honest, with a small light at the close.

i feel it

whatever cheesy feeling they talk about feeling in movies i feel it with you. from the first time i saw you, to every time since then. i never knew a true home until i found your arms.

unspoken words.

so many things left unsaid. so many words left unspoken. your voice plays on repeat in my head, but somehow i fear i'm forgetting you.
