The things I hate.

ISSUE #5
I hate the distance.
No Plagiarism!z7fhAws5bTlkkjcuC5C5posted on PＥNAＮＡ

I hate the distance from me to you.

I hate that I can’t connect like I used to.

I hate feeling detached.

I hate feeling like a ghost.

 I hate being there,

But I’m not there.

I hate the empty smile I give,

The empty laugh I make.

I hate the way I don’t know anything,

I don’t know what makes me happy,

I don’t know what I like,

I don’t know me.

I don’t love me.

I don’t like me.

They don’t know.

They don’t know me,

because I don’t let them.

I don’t live.

I don’t die.

I don’t want to live,

But I don’t want to die.

Why do I have to be so cruel to the people who might care?

Why do I have to smile when I’m not okay?

Why do I have to hide?

Why can’t I cry?
