Self Esteem

I live my life, day by day.
Hoping it will all, go away.
When I open my eyes, it all seems to stay.
Nothing ever works my way.

It just another day, that I have to live.
I then have nothing left to give.
I guess I just lost my motive.
All is not something one can forgive.

Why not just run away.
I'm a loser, like they say.
I feel as if I just betray.
All the ones, that brightened my day.

They say in time, I will feel better.
The time that I spend when we're not together.
Just makes it feel worse than what they call for.
Why not just stab my heart with your dagger?

If you do, I don’t think I’ll feel.
It just feels cold, not sure if it’s real.
They say that in time, it all will heal.
I just say ok, but I don’t think it will.

I'm just here to take up space.
Nobody wants to see my face.
I make everybody feel out of place.
I shouldn't be here, I am a disgrace.

Nobody understands the thoughts in my head.
I feel that I’ve failed, in everything attempted.
It really might be better off, for all of you instead.
If I wasn’t here and was just gone and dead.

Instead I live with all the pain.
Feeling that I am insane.
I give nobody anything to gain.
Nobody even wants to know my name.

People don’t care about what I say.
Everybody just turns away.
They think I’m here just to play.
I’m left all alone, like any other day.
