Perchance I needed you to see my pain
And not think I was being entitled or selfish
And not think that I’m trying to squeeze everyone else out
And not think that life is transactional or a zero-sum game
Perchance I needed you to sit with me and listen
Instead of waiting to speak. for yourself
Instead of trying to make it all okay. for yourself
Instead of pushing everything to the side. for yourself
Perchance I needed you to see that I’m trying to get better
Instead of laughing in my face
Instead of making me apologize for existing
Instead of saying fuck your feelings
Perchance I needed you to see the struggles I go through are real
That I’m tired of fighting for a place at so many tables
That I’m tired of being invisible
That I’m tired of screaming into the wind
Perchance I needed you to see me
Perchance I just needed a friend.
Perchance
