Everything starts out nice
As it always does
Then spirals come
Walking circles
Teary phone calls
Hiding
Yelling
Spitting curses
Trying but failing ultimately
Spilling my guts
Oops I think I said too much
But I don't want you to worry
I'm fine
I'll be fine
I'll be fine?
Right?
Please tell me that I'll be fine
Please
I need someone to help hold the fixings in place
Overlapping illusions creating one picture
Smiling, smart, and steady
Bursting at the seams
Being told I'm doing it all wrong
Delusional
Wait
Fuck
It wasn't supposed to go this way
I was holding myself together
Four years so far and going strong
But suddenly I find myself cracking
Letting the little pieces slip through
"Talking back" without meaning to
In a desperate attempt to cover it up
Leave
Me
Alone
Please don't
Don't you see my head is exploding
Stuck on your one track mind
Don't you see that this is all going wrong
You keep telling me to jump
But I don't want to jump there
But I don't want to stay here
But maybe I don't really know how
For you the grass is always greener on the other side
For me the world is losing color
Go
Where?
Anywhere
Why?
Because it would be better
How do you know?
It goes toward your dreams
My dreams are dead.
Well that's a problem
Well no shit Sherlock, why do you think I never told you?
I didn't want to give you another thing to worry about
Another flag to add to your case against what you don't like
Another thing said out loud that truly belongs in the long silent list of things that are wrong with me
A list that is never meant to see the light of day
Congratulations! You pulled it out of me this time.
As the curtain falls on this eventful moment
I try to collect the pieces
In hopes of mending frayed pieces
Maybe I will fit them back together
Or is it better to leave them be?
Inspiration: uni tearing me apart lol
I don't really know what this is, but I kinda just wrote it right now and I really needed to get it out there... maybe I'll come back and edit it... who knows *shrugs*
