"Tell me when I'm no longer needed and I shall go"

-Unknown

Have I ever felt unwanted?

Most of the time,

Because I don't want to bother anyone you know?

They don't need to hear about my "problems"


They don't need to hear how I shake and cry,

Wondering, overthinking if something bad is going to happen,

How I freak out when someone claims they like me,

Because of the fear of giving another person the chance to hurt me,


They don't need to know how I flinch when certain people touch me,

Because I fear I'll get attached and they leave,

Because that's what I do,

I make people hate me and they leave,


But if only I was different,

Maybe then I'd have a lot of real friends,

Maybe then my friends wouldn't have to say things behind my back,

If only I was strong enough to take their criticisms without thinking they hate me,


I wish that I wasn't so complicated,

And everyone gets tried of me having my guard up,

But I'm scared I've always been,

Because I cant let them in.
