Story Of My Life

In a dim-lit room, lying on the therapist's couch as she tells me to tell her what's wrong with me.

Then I look at her and say " well where do you want me to begin?".

Ever since from the start I've been the worrier, the care giver, the one that bares the scars, and the one that will go far and wide just to keep everyone happy.
Never really felt the need to speak about my feelings so I think this is somewhat pointless, but I figured what the hell.
As a child I was taught to never dwell or be too emotional because even crying was a sign of weakness,
I never blamed them for it,
I never questioned anything about it I just did as I was told while at the same time hoping to some day break free from the shackles that I was given.
Chained down to responsibilities when really all I ever wanted to do was be like every other kid and play, but for some reason I felt like I was fourty years old half of the time the other half I just didn't belong.
Sometimes I even wondered if I was gone would anyone remember me or
Would I be just some other weirdo?.
Getting bullied by both the boys and girls as they would love to torment me.
But my anger took over me and I fought them all,
with every punch, every bite, every scratch, every kick I was taking my frustrations out on them. I'd get in trouble anyways because they were normal and I wasn't.
Been told I was stupid, I was useless, I couldn't do anything right
I was weak, I was heartless, I was brainless, and the list goes on.
Growing up wasn't easy either,
As I got older things got more rougher as it was a silent battle that I had to face on my own.
I had to grow tougher in order to show I wasn't the weakest link.
Even at home there was always a war and I was the soldier that had to fight through it.
Couldn't even find any comfort in those I loved.
Being shoved away as they would dismay the love I had for them.
One said they loved me, but suddenly were never around claiming that they were always busy, but honestly I thought they found someone new.
Someone who could make them more happy than I ever could.
Another made me fall head over heels in love,
I was always dreaming about what it would be like if we just ran away together and lived with each other happily ever after.
But they didn't want that so I had to let them go.
I loved them so much it hurts me to even think about them, but I can't blame them I should've known better than to fall in love with someone like that, never again will it happen.
But as the days go by I try to take them each step at a time and taking the good as great and bad as worthless.
Story of my life.
