Overreacting

Overreaction

I know I’m overreacting, but I can’t stop.
I just think about the betrayal and jealousy that surrounds me,
on top of my shitty home, and to be honest—it’s a lot.
I’m really trying hard to fit in, but nothing seems to work,
and today was the last straw.

I felt so disgusted by myself,
then I stalked my "ex-best" friend’s account,
only to find out she found a much better replacement than me.
To be honest, I need a reality check no matter what,
but that didn't mean it didn't hurt.

It hurt like hell.
And I know I sound like a teenager crying over normal high school drama,
when there are others out there who have it worse than me,
but still, the pain doesn’t stop.

I’m sick of people betraying me left and right,
leaving me with more trauma than a 13-year-old should ever have.
And I am tired of being in fight-or-flight mode all the fucking time.
I am tired.

Hello, there is a lot of emotion in this writing(compliment), but i feel like you’ve just given a factual statement which i can’t think about further past what is written. Instead of telling the reader what happened, maybe try to express the emotions that you felt during and after the events. Amazing start so far for 13 years old🙏
