staying afloat
pushed aside yet again
not good enough for anyone to love
i have no more tears to waste
i must love myself more than i love anyone else
to make up for their disregard
i plunge headfirst into work
thinking if i can reach perfection one day
i will finally show them i am worth something
and then it won't matter if they love me or not
i drown in my work, but it is also my lifebelt
without it, forced to see what i really am
desperate
lonely
sad
well, that would drown me for sure
