They ask why I post sad shit

Say things like, "Oh Michelle why are you so depressed?"

Well you see the thing is

My life hasn't been about bliss

It's been about what is

And the thing is

I grew up in a house that was broken

Never really been outspoken

Never could stand up for myself

Cried every time I tried to

Felt like shit every time I tried to

Went to bed and I'd lie there

Dreamt and I'd die there

Woke up and I'd cry there

Never really knew love

Always wanted to feel it

Happiness? Quit playing

You see the thing is

My life has been shit

Family? I don't even know what that is

They tell me I'm fine

They tell me quit crying

But the thing is...I'm almost done trying
