Waiting for Acceptance

I love it here
I promise
It is beautiful
The people are nice
I love it here
I promise

I whisper these words in my head
Yet they don't erase the hurt in my heart
They don't fix this hole
They don't change the fact that I am lonely

I wait for things to get better
But they don't
It was all a lie
I will never fit in
I can't show who I truly am

It is hard going from something
That is so familiar and
Loved
To something so
Foreign and
Empty

Yet I cannot change where I am
Or who I act to be
I cannot change what I have become
And so every night I whisper:

I love it here
I promise
It is beautiful
The people are nice
I love it here
I promise

Nick Matherne
this is my favorite of these
I really like the refrain
It is exactly like Aurora said
--I said this to myself so many times in the first few weeks of school

this is really beautiful

Baskenmütze
Oh my goodness this hit me hard
I love the refrain--it sounds eerily similar to what I tell myself on a regular basis.
I'm so glad when you write. You always manage to say what you are feeling in an extremely powerful way
