Today's Task: Show what an ordinary day may be like for someone with Borderline Personality Disorder.
~~~
I didn't mean to scare you
Don't turn your back on me
It was only a tiny thing
I want to be free
From the arms that hold me
Of having a sensible self
One second to another
And I don't know myself
But it was just one thing
A phrase you said
I don't why I'm like this
But please don't be upset
My world is closed off
I'm closed off from the world
With my emotions in a twist
And my mouth muffled
Losing control of me
Losing control of life
Suffocate is how I feel
Every single night
When I'm with you
There's silence
There's love
There's quiet
On other days
I'm against you
There's anger
I can't describe what's true
My skin crawls from the inside
As I look into your eyes
Eyes of disappointment
To a creature you despise
But I'll hold back next time
We can make it work
Whether I'm sad or happy
Or if my demons lurk
Because our perfect balance
Was never perfect
But I promise to try
And teach myself respect
But I can't do it.
Tomorrow, all this again
Forgetting who I am
And loving you, with pain
