Afternoon Desolation

I wake up everyday
And hate everything
There’s a dull ache
In the back of my brain
She says she doesn’t
Understand my pain


I’m sad and get therapy threats
When she gives everyone else chocolate


I don’t need you to fix me
Just hold me like you used to
And tell me I’ll be ok
I don’t want to have to explain
You used to know what I needed
Without me having to say


She doesn’t love me
Wants to send me away
Says it’s for my own good
And she needs space
She takes care of everyone
And I’m in the way


You think you’re always right
But I’ve been doing fine
Don’t compare me to every suicide
I just don’t want to be alive
And I need to cry sometimes
Like everyone else
