She’s stuck
All she feels is pain
It’s driving her insane
Something needs to change
Chels Jan 2021
Would I make life a little easier for you if I wasn’t here?
If I loosened my grip and pretend I didn’t care
Would it be easier if I disappeared
Gone without a trace so there was no one you needed to help?
I want you to know that if my depression wins
I fought with everything I had
While waking up every morning painting on a fake grin
Would life be easier if you didn’t have to worry about my mental state
Unable to sleep at night worried about what I’d might say
Everyone told me things like this take time
Eat,pray,love, & stay on the grind
23 years of my life I still feel the same
Lack of motivation no determination to do a thing
How does one make it go away?

I tend to overthink can you handle that
Due to past experiences communication is where I lack
I try do do better to let you in
But it’s like the universe didn’t want me to win
My heart use to be so trusting so pure
I deserved to be loved a lot more
Will things work out how could one know
If I never learned to let things go

Solace
The sides of the bathtub
Rise up like castle walls
Keeping me safe and
Allowing me to ignore
The world outside of them
My small safe haven
My fortress of solitude
A place where I can
Simply be in existence
But not taking up space

You were the reason for my poems
About love and despair
About pain and your curly hair
& the lost love that wasn’t fair
About how much you didn’t care
When I lost my poetry everything be came clear
one things for certain you’re not here
Could it be my writers block is gone
Or have I just found a new song
A song to sing with someone new
But boy have my problems grew
Added baggage from my past
The anxiety is sure to tell me it won’t last
So I lash out like a whip
Frightened & guarded with a gun on my hip

Who I am without you
Is who I am meant to be
Chels Mar 2020
Walking away will be the toughest thing I've ever had to do
Just know I never regretted falling in love with you
