Ugh

I worry about you.

When I see those things.

Maybe it’s not my place to judge, and I probably seem boring.

I don’t know why I feel entitled to tell you what to do.

So I try to keep my mouth shut but know when I am silent,

I still wish better of you.

Just because it seems normal, doesn’t mean you should steep that low.

I know you’re better than that

At least I believe that’s true

Maybe it’s because I haven’t known you that long

I am just a stepping stone, when for me it means something

I know this time might be the last our paths will cross

But I’ve known you too long to ever forget you

So at least think of me for that

As I start to think I question myself

I wonder if I am right or wrong

But rest assured my beliefs won’t change

There are reasons these things are in place

Just because they break them

Doesn’t mean you join

Doesn’t mean you back down

I know myself more than anyone and I swore myself a million things

That I hope I can keep

And other people’s promises shouldn’t mean anything to me

The lessons I’ve learned

The people I’ve met

So similar to each other but different from me

Maybe I’m the odd one out

And I need to not shout

Because others want to fit in

But I have real fears

That keep me up at night

And scare me from shutting them down

I guess that’s all I have

Don’t think it matters anyways

But saying something helps me

Feel okay.

True Shades

As the disguise fades I look into the eyes of someone new The sharp rays Of deceit Through the deep lakes of blue Although I feel pain for those lasting moments I see now that I was wrong I only needed you to show me I only wonder now How it lasted so long? The […]

Green Circle Spins

Round and round it goes When will it stop? The colour of grass and lime Make my skin as white as the snow That falls oh how heavily On the patchy gravel roads The money paid doesn’t getaway From the cracks and holes spotted daily Or the roadkill on the sidewalks As I walk down […]
