do you know why it hurts so much? It hurts because I fell into what I was running away from. It hurts because you taught me to fight for what I deserved only to find that it's you I have to fight for! You made me believe I deserved the best, to be loved, cared, and cherished.You said it's best if it was YOU but why do you let me feel like an option, like the rest of the gang not even at least your best friend. Why do you take me for granted, why do you not run out of excuses, why is it easy for you to leave and ignore me? You made me strong, you made believe in myself only to be challenged by You!...Yes, it hurts so much to be hurt by You! ↗
