I always wanted to mean something to the world

Where lots of doors keep closing, some doors stay open But it hurts that you keep using my heart as a doorstop, leaving me heartbroken. I can’t tell if I’m just being ungrateful or if my anger has a place But I think we can both agree that honesty wins over saving face. I’ve never…
