Too young

I hate it
I hate waking up every morning
And feeling like it’s my fault
Feeling like I shouldn’t feel
This way because I’m just a kid

That’s what everyone says right?
“You’re too young to hurt”
“You don’t know how it feels you’re only 14”
Is that true?
Are my feelings limited by my age?

Or maybe it’s just my phone
Maybe I watch too much tv
Or maybe, just maybe
Those feeling less items
Are my getaway

My getaway from those painful words
“You’re just weak” “you’re too sensitive”
“You’re just dramatic” is it because I’m “too young”
That you see passed what I’ve been through, what i feel?
Maybe im delusional

Delusional in thinking you’ll care
Delusional in thinking my words matter
But that’s my fault right?
I hate being delusional
I hate it
