The Never Ending Me

Tedious Little Things

I know they seem tedious

I know it sounds daft

But my fears are my fears

And there's no need to laugh

I know you're confused

And I know it's bizarre

But I panic a lot

Don't take it too far.

I know I seem strong

But what else can I say

These feelings are my feelings

And they're here to stay.

Don't make me feel belittled

Don't make me feel I'm dumb.

I know these tedious little things are hard for you to get

They sound ridiculous to you I bet.

But these are my tedious little things

I'll learn to control in time

So understand they're mine

They're me

I know they're in my mind.

I know you think you help by saying things like that

But know this now know this true

My mind contradicts you.

You can make a speech five thousand pages long

To say how good I am

How happy

And so strong

My mind says you're wrong.

It's in my head I know

But sometimes it does show.

But again I know they seem tedious

And you can't take them serious

But damn I wish you'd try

to see it all through my eyes.
