Don't pretend that you're like me because you've never been to the same shithole that I've been. You never experienced the same pain that I experienced. You are not as broke as I am. You never shed the same amount of tears I've shed for so many years. And you never loved someone the way I loved.
Don't tell me that you can relate to my struggles because you've been handled the same level of emotions that I've been swaying all these years. You do not have that look of longing for someone and something that you can never have. Don't tell me that you understand my fears because you've never felt this fear. This fear of losing someone you thought was your world. You'll never be like me.
I am not saying that you're not struggling. I am just saying that you're not me. So don't pretend that you're like me because my life is never easy. I don't want you to feel the same shit that I've been dating at night. I don't want you to sleep with my demons. I don't want you to dance with my scars. I don't want you to feel the agony that made me a monster.
I don't.
