Forever

I am forever never the same
Forever altered

But not

Forever lacking joy
Forever dead inside
Forever disconnected from life
Forever apathetic about the future
Forever disappointed
Forever distraught
Forever damaged
Forever angry
Forever tearful
Forever broken
Forever afraid
Forever humiliated
Forever done trying
Forever wishing this was not my life
Forever hating every minute of this

I am forever never the same

Forever altered

But it won’t stay this way forever

At least that’s what I’m told
