Jax's poetry

Crush

Having a crush is a confusing thing
Sometimes havoc and hurt is all that it brings
If they don't reciprocate my feelings
I'll lay in bed, staring at the ceiling
Wondering why I'm not enough
All my friends can say is "I'm sorry" or "that's tough"
But when they do like me back
I'm terrified of dating bc it might not last
Commitment issues have made the dating world so foreign to me
I'm terrified of what might come to be
What if I hurt them, what if they hurt me
What does it matter? It's only high school
Where we always break the rules
In school or out
we hurt others and feel doubt
Overthinking is so common
And I don't know how to solve problems
I lay down and cry
While others turn a blind eye
I hide my emotions sometimes so well
That no one could ever tell
I just want the comfort of another
Not from a friend, but a significant other
