The Day After

Today,
The day of love and joy
Why do I only feel hatred and pain
I wanna be alone
I wanna throw my phone
At a wall
And be bothered by no one at all
And cry
And
If I had my way
Die

Why?

You should be happy
You should be grateful
You should be happy

Their words
Echo
E c h o
Echo
In my head

My response : I am
But I don't say
I am broken, a toy with no eyes
I am in pain there's no medication for
I am sad, a terrible
horrible
deep
spiraling
Sad

That crushes my body
and my soul.//
