I Don’t Want

But I Want

I Don’t Want. But I Want.

I don’t want to be ignored.

But I am.

I don’t want to be lonely.

But I am.

I want people to listen to me, and not turn away.

But they do.

I want someone to care.

But they don’t.

I want someone to make sure I’m happy.

But they don’t.

I want someone to make me laugh.

But they don’t.

I want someone to cheer me up.

But they don’t.

I want someone to make me smile.

But they don’t.

I want someone to try to keep me happy as long as possible.

But they don’t.

I want someone to love me.

No one does.

I want to feel appreciated.

But I don’t.

I want to be the one laughing at someone’s jokes.

But I’m not.

I don’t want to be the only one who tries to make people happy.

But I am.

I don’t want to be the outcast.

But I am.

I never asked to be ignored.

To be unhappy.

To be depressed.

To be alone.
