Some days I just want to die

****************************************** 

Do you ever feel like no cares

like they don’t notice

How far down you are

They don’t know how comforting

The thought of blowing your head off in the shower feels

Of course I wouldn’t do that

But there comes a time

when you have had enough of being ignored

Enough of reaching out to only be denied

Enough of investing your energy, your time, your life

into things that no one cares about

Into things that never come back to you

There is a reason ROI is concept

Everybody wants something in return for what they do, give, spend, and invest in

I don’t feel like I have a lot of ROI in my life right now

I feel empty

No one gets to tell me how I feel

Or why I should not feel that way

No one gets to tell me who I am

Or why I feel the things I do

So fuck it

On to the next waste of my time

On to the next un-fulfilling activity

Onwards to nothing

Why do I even bother

That is the real question

The answer I guess is that

some days I just want to die

    Wow! Life must really suck. Achievement is supposed to be its own reward, but we all need those pats on the back. I miss my old job where I was getting a lot of at a boys. Hugs.
