You said take it easy, he's going through some shit
We all have our stories to tell
If only you knew my issues too
He's got issues, I've got them too
Depression and anxiety
Constant weights on my mind
You just don't see it
I hide behind a mask
The person below full of longing and sadness
You see the mask
The happiness and smiles
It was all a lie to you
My many secrets
I felt guilty
After all, it was all my fault
I was one problem among dozens more
I was the cause, the starter
Maybe they were right
I'm only a bother
I'd fit in anywhere other than here
I needed to escape but you wouldn't let me out
The world's too big
Too dangerous
For little ole me
It's time to live
No more fear
After all these guilty issues
Leave me full of pain
Death staring me in the face
I couldn't tell you
Just let me know how alone I am
My issues aren't your issues
You shouldn't have to put up with me
My bullshit is my own
Tell your story, it's better
Leave me in the dark
All alone with my issues
And find your light without my smothering darkness
The world was too loud
I couldn't fight it anymore
Please understand, dear, it wasn't your fault
It was all my own
I caused your pain, now it was time to ease it
I know I'm too much
Annoying and a pain
Just let me be
Guilty issues will take care of me

RandomThis is my shitty poetry book to help sort through the thoughts and feelings coursing through me. Some of it probably isn't real poetry but just words. NOTE: There will not be regular updates.
