I had a naive hope that others would notice how much I hurt inside, and when they didn't, I thought it was because no one cared about me and I slipped further into my own self pity, when really, it was because everyone else knew that I wasn't in pain.
Everyone, that is, except me. I'm sorry for pretending and defending how I felt, when there are so many others who need the comfort that I was taking for granted.
For they want to feel needed,
And they need to feel wanted.
Everyone needs to feel wanted.
Remember that or they will be lost.
