Cycle Of Life As We Know It

Forever feeling lonely,
Forever hating myself,
Forever wanting to change,
And forever just staying the same.

They say that I have so many friends,
There's no need for me to feel lonely.
They say that I have people that care,
So I shouldn't feel the way that I do.

They say that I'm beautiful the way I am,
So I shouldn't hate my body.
They say that I have potential,
So I should stop doing "stupid" things.

Telling myself that I'm trying as hard as I can,
As they're telling me I need to do better.
Trying to change and please everyone,
As they tell me things that contradict all their sayings.

Everything falling apart around us,
And everything getting put back together
Only to fall apart once again.
