lost

You give love,
Yet receive hate.
You pour out your heart,
Only to have it shattered in return.
Is this all just a dream,
Or am I lost in a haze?
This can't be my reality,
But somehow it is.
Yet, despite it all, I choose to find happiness.
We are all human,
Craving love and connection.
We long for support,
And we too experience pain.
We bleed the same color.
But why do we often find ourselves lacking?
Are we somehow different from them?
Why is it that we always seem to face
The harshest aspects of life?
We feel tied to this place,
Exhausted by our endless dreams.
Yearning for them to become a reality.
We're overwhelmed, feeling disheartened,
Lonely and despised.
