Unsolicited Feelings

They told me to talk about it
But I still feel the same
Do they all just think of me
As a mental case?
No one wants to hear this
So he says, "Take a breath"
I go and walk outside to see
The stars above
But there are so many
These stars can't feel what I feel
Theyll never feel alone
I'm sure it doesn't feel so lonely
Because even if the stars die
Theyll continue to shine bright
For the next hundreds of years
We'll still see them
No need for me to shed tears
But I do
They drop and they drop
So instead I look down
At the sea below
But it's so deep
My tears make the water grow
And these tides continue to flow
They move on so easily
A deep remimder that I'm still stuck
I stare at the movement
And the vast water
I can't imagine how the ocean
Could ever feel lonely
Will it ever understand me?
If I can't look down
And if I can't look up
Without being reminded that I'm a total mess up
Then where do I look
What can I look forward to
The past just sucks
And the presence
Brings no profound present
What the hell do I do?
I guess I have a future to look forward to
Not much I can do
I just don't want to feel the same
Or punch my problems
In someone else's face
Cause talking doesn't help
And God, being with people hasn't either
At the end of the day
I'm an empty girl
With this empty money
An almost dead face
And an empty house
That I don't feel like I belong in
On these car drives back
I wonder how it'd be
If I was dunked under the sea
Or if I rose above the stars
Never coming back
Then maybe
I'd become a little more happy
