martyrdom

don't make this any harder than it needs to be 

someday you'll wake up - someday, you'll see 

all the time you wasted feeling sorry 

the sand piled high before it gets washed away 

the moments you wasted balancing self pity 

with grandiose delusions 

moments wasted trying to be simultaneously 

seen and unseen 

for the love of god stop trying 

just be.

Wow I love this so so much, the line "moments wasted trying to be simultaneously seen
and unseen" captures so many deep deep feelings beautifully. I love this concept and I love how loaded yet concise it is, bravo :))
