I Thought I Was Loved, Pt.2 Poem by Anderson Greenwald

It’s like I change the world but it’s still the same
Like everyone’s left before I came
Like they’ve done wrong and I’m to blame
I thought I was loved

It’s like I want to die in the world I live
Like the love I lost before I give
Like they read print but I write cursive
I thought I was loved

It’s like I have a star but it doesn’t beam
Like I don’t want to sleep but still want the dreams
Like I’m in the boat but not in the stream
I thought I was loved

It’s like I have a baby that only cries
Like I work so hard but no one tries
Like to only live while your loved one dies
I thought I was loved

It’s like I gave what I just didn’t have
Like needing to cry when wanting to laugh
Like I’m split in two but still not in halves
I thought I was loved

It’s like getting so high but still feeling down
Like my lips try to smile and out came a frown
Like being a king without a crown
I thought I was loved
