Lady Feb 2019
I don’t care if you’re black or you’re white
I don’t care if you’re rich or you’re  poor
I don’t care how you get all the money you spend when you get what you get at some store
I don’t care if you’re nice or you’re mean
If you’re tall, short, stocky, fat and or lean
I’ll come in like a truck and **** everything up
I don’t care who gets to or gets to not see
I don’t care if you’re crazy or sane
If you’re rotten with riches and fame
If you have a great life
Some great kids - a great wife
I’ll still give you reason for blame
Invisible bricks to your feet
And thought trains derailing in brain
Just one word I can say
to shackle you with my shame
I’m Depression and I’ll take your name.

I said I hated you
You said you loved me
I guess we both said things
  we didn't mean
I had only just arrived as
  you were turning to walk away
No meeting of the eyes or any
  spaces in between  
You said forever
I said it'd never
Why is it we could never learn
  to just agree
I said I hated you
You said you loved me
Why do we always say things
  we do not mean?

Don't say I love you, it just hurts.
Don't say I need you, pretend the reverse. You think you're making things better but you're making things worse. I'm not your hunger, I'm not your thirst.

Don't pick up the phone whenever I call;
say you need nothing, nothing at all.
Know that no one will catch you whenever you fall. Believe all of everything or nothing at all.

Don't read the letters, don't sing the songs. Play all of the games I can't play along. If you were never there, you can never be gone. If you ever come back, come when you can't stay so long

Don't say I love you, it just hurts
It may be true, but I'd have to believe it first
I'm completely spent, I know my worth
Don't say I love you, it just hurts.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm crazy
When I wonder aloud
Everyone just tells me that I'm not
Sometimes I wish that I was crazy
Then I'd have an excuse
for all these feelings I've got
I don't need anyone to save me
Unless the plan involves
Some way to save me from myself
I don't think anyone would blame me
Which is kinda great cause
I'm already bad for my own health..

Crazy is as crazy does
Keep your feelings to a hush
Put your head down; don't look up -
Unless you're climbing ladders
Rest your feet on other's faces
It doesn't really ******* matter
Right?

Wrong.

When I feel that I'm crazy
Cause I can see the wrong
no else seems to give a hell about
I hold like hell to that crazy cause
crazy holds on when all the other
Less passionate feelings give out
I really think I must be crazy
There's nothing else that seems
Like it could be more true
I'm fairly certain I'm crazy
Cause if it's not me
Then it's definitely you.

She wasn't raised by wolves
But she could have been
The way she howls at the moon
And chases away all men
She wasn't raised by wolves
But you must believe
If you try to get too close
She will bear all of her teeth
It isn't she doesn't trust you
Except it is exactly that
She wasn't raised by wolves
So there's no pack watching her back
She wasn't raised by wolves
But she might have been
To watch her claw and bite at life
Every time she remembers when...
She wasn't raised by wolves
Perhaps she should have been
Maybe she'd sleep more peacefully
Alone inside her den.

Meaningless *** says "I love you"
Cigarettes say "I'm with you til death"
******* says "I'll bring you up"
Alcohol says "Baby, just rest."
Gossip says "You're accepted"
Apathy beats empathy in battle of wits
All these things
They comfort me
Because you never did.
I actually wrote this poem over a decade ago in college. I hesitated to post for a while because I don't personally relate to the poem anymore. However, it's a part of me and my past and it's possibly a feeling someone else might share...
It's cliche, but things Do get better. Xo.

You tell me not to rock the boat
But you won't let me in it
I've been treading water so **** long
I can't stand another minute
You're seemingly indifferent
'cept for your hands on hips and frowning
Or maybe it's a smile
I can't tell because I'm drowning
