Alone

Again...

Alone...again.

Why...this is something I never intend?

I always have to depend on me.

I want to be free...

But it gets so tiresome being the only person that I can depend on.

Does everyone intend to just con?

I want to feel I can trust someone fully.

Instead I get this fury in my belly...

because I know the only person that I can truly depend on is me.

Shame on you, shame on you all for making yourselves first and as always me...last.

Even though I always put you first and would always drop everything to help.

You must have taken a misstep...

To think I would keep putting myself through this.

There must be something amiss.

He tells me I'm worth it and although it kills me to go through this alone...

I'm going to put myself first and love myself because after all I should've known.
