Tw: mentions of weapons


Mom thinks I get obsessed

Just cause it's fun

But really it's cause my other thoughts

Are like a loaded gun


Obsessions with fake things

Allow me to be

Just about anything

I can be me


But in the real world

People get crushed

With guilt and stress

And then they feel rushed


When I pretend

The whole world melts away

And I don't have to think about

These scary ass days


Obsessing keeps me sane

Then I can disappear

To just about anywhere

As long as I'm not here


So I obsess over little things

Like movies or books

Cause they're easier to think about

Than the world I overlook
