It's happening again...
sadly I can only just let
it run its course
because the more I resist it
the harder release is going
to stubbornly well itself up
inside,
the more I'll want to just give up,
but I keep fighting to let it go,
I want
more than anything
just for myself,
1 selfish wish,
I want,
I want to cry.
I had my first if not ever panic attack
this year....
yeah I broke down like a wounded
warrior.... blood and flesh and guts mutilated.....
my heart's a battle field, indeed,
I didn't like the hours it took to come and calm down,
and now they're a part of me....
I didn't want, not in the slightest,
I've known for a while to expect these falling outs
I'm used to suffering and breaking.
If I don't love you
I'm not honest, though
I'm honest with strangers
and I'm honest with my lover
because she gives me everything
to hope for when I'm broken,
hiding behind a face to protect
myself from others because
I'm frill and shy,
my words never come out right....
over text and verbally I'm just a big
mess always just dabbling in
what the context of the words I've
told mean to someone else without
a clue,
and then I get hurt because
upsetting the people I love accidentally,
will risk me everything.
I'm not stable enough....
I wish I was,
I've never known anything else
besides faltering like after
an earthquake.
I anger easily,
maybe because it's the only
working defense mechanism I
have that doesn't fail me
like these arms and legs, and
mind have once upon a time,
because once upon a time, I think,
maybe I was stable enough
to just take the "hush child",
