Malissa
What are you overthinking about?
Why can’t you let yourself be happy?
I want to know
I need to know
Why does my mind betray my heart
You’re like night and day
And when the final act is over
And the curtains close
Those words of doubt
Will take their toll
You want to act cool
Like nothing fazes you
Yet you’re an emotional mess
And feel like no one understands you
You change like the phases of the moon
And the rise and fall of tides
Will you ever let yourself be happy?
Don’t you get tired of wearing that emotionless mask?
What are you scared of?
Vulnerability…
Being looked weirdly upon
As if i’m being overdramatic
About my own feelings.
Battling the inner demons
That place their hold on me
Being there for everyone but no
One being there for me, see me for
Who I am and not what you want me to be.
You do things on your own
Because you wouldn’t want to burden anyone
When will you find peace?
It’s just a constant rollercoaster
And i’m sick of the ride
What more do you need
To feel emotionally satisfied?
Everythings not about you
Yet you want it to be
You victimize yourself
As if all you want is self pity
How low will you go before you rise
How many times must I fuck up
To understand my potential and self worth
Why must I seek acknowledgement from others
When I neglect myself.
You say you want to be better
And do better
You speak of an illusion and can’t face
Reality.
All you want
is for someone to hear your cries
for help, but you’re nothing special
You just want attention
