Given the history of my past two failed attempts, my status means shit to me, and I refuse to be some souvenir left rusted on the shelf.
I hope you hear this loud and clear -- it's not meant to fall upon deaf ears. I thought I was strong enough, until I found out I had to face this struggle on my own.
On my own, again. I should have known how it was supposed to be. You cannot always depend on the ones that you love to be around when it all comes crashing down.
I always see the world in more negatives than positives, but I can't distinguish the thin line between the black and white. The clearest signs all start to blur, becoming too hard to ignore. I wish this loneliness would fade away into the horizon.
It's haunting having to face your demons and expose yourself to all your flaws. It's intimidating, the possibility of failing and losing it all.
This is the worst idea I've ever had. I can't believe I stuck around for half of the shit that went down. I can't believe this is the best that it gets. I have regrets in an empty bottle shattered by the ground.
I'll be a better man. These lessons can't be taught, they must be learned. I'll pick myself up off the ground and take things step by step.
I always see the world in more negatives than positives, but I can't distinguish the thin line between the black and white. The clearest signs all start to blur, becoming too hard to ignore. I wish this loneliness would fade away into the horizon.
Now the time has come to accept the facts, what we had before is never coming back. When everything has come and gone, don't waste my time.
