Tell me
That I can live
Tell me
That this isn't forever
Tell me
That I am capable of hope
Tell me
That I am better than this
Tell me
That I'm not fading away

Laid out, a tapestry in my memory,
A mere page in the book of my mind,
Stitched together with threads of thought,
Those that bind- simple, assured, heavy,
Those that fray- making the mistakes align,
A few stray stitches on what could have been,
Altogether a colorful, ephemeral story-
Imperfect, finished, and eternally mine.

Watching the clock
The needles, as they move,
With every second, every minute,
Breathing, tick-tock, tick-tock
Constantly waiting for life to happen,
Move, my heart beckons, move,
Yet I remain paralyzed
"Does it matter", I question,
My forever traitorous heart
"Does it matter, who really knows?
Who really cares, if I take a step?"
They all see when I make mistakes
They don't see when I'm drowning
Gasping for breath
Somehow I need to be upbeat,
If I'm not, it unsettles them all
I need to be okay so they feel okay
So I convince myself
That I'm okay
That I always will be.

You sit beside me,
A wisp, a ghost of memory,
A permanent friend of a kind,
Almost solid, yet not quite,
You're here, but you are not,
I struggle to reconcile,
Who I am, and who I am with you,
A tender balance of sorts,
I want you around, yet I don't,
Will it be easier, to sort myself?
To find clarity, to help us both?

Never be yourself,
You can be a lot to take.
Never be yourself,
Do all you can to fake.
Never be yourself,
Make up stories here and there,
Sell them like movie plots,
Enchant the world, so they can be shared
Never be yourself
Live a life loud and bright,
Fill your world with pride and joy,
Keep your circles quiet and tight.
Never be yourself,
Sometimes you may feel alone.
As you entered this world,
So you shall leave, largely unknown.
Never be yourself,
Some may let you sing along,
Sitting in the periphery,
But you will never truly belong.
Take comfort in this truth,
Be proud, bold and interesting,
Never be afraid of loneliness,
The right people will find you arresting.

With you,
I can breathe,
While I suffocate around everyone else.
With you,
I can smile, I laugh,
That I don't need to fake.
With you,
I can be myself,
Unconditionally, uncomfortably,
And know that you'll be fine.
With you,
I am challenged,
The way I didn't know I needed.
With you,
I can be happy,
I didn't know this was possible.
With you,
I can finally love,
In the best ways I know how.

Four walls corner to corner,
Screens 1, 2 and 3 are all I see,
All I hear and feel are my thoughts,
I wonder if this is my destiny.
Is this how a lasting career is built?
Is this how I am to spend my days?
I feel exhausted, confused to the hilt,
It may be too late to change my ways.
Keep it inside, shut up, Don't tell a soul,
It doesn't matter anyway, what's said,
I am empty, I work for no goal,
I want to feel happy, and escape my head.

Can't give a **** can't pretend,
That my world is not coming to an end,
What's true, untrue, what to believe,
What to confide, what do I duly receive,
Silent tumult of feelings inside,
I need to live, but feel like I've died
I can't try anymore, what do I trust
How do I force myself to do what I must?
It's stuck, I wish there was more I could control,
I hate everything, everyone, myself and more
They put themselves out there, as though their words matter,
Eating without limits, happily getting fatter,
Living life with so much ease that I envy,
Starving behind diets, treadmills, calories aplenty.

Caught in between, always unsure,
Never enough, yet asked for more,
Choices forever split in two,
Paralyzed, not knowing what to do,
Words left unsaid, in the quiet they seethe,
Suffocating, though there's air to breathe,
Whatever gets done falls apart,
Evergreen tussle between mind and heart,
A glorious ruin from starting out well,
Aim towards heaven, but steered to hell.
Is it a curse? A spell? Who can really say?
Can the will clear this path to find its way?

Noise, all I hear, this loud head,
Suggestions for all the ways to be
A vacuum, a void, with things left unsaid,
A voice unheard, left in the dark,
Tastes unseen, fear that they'd disappear
After a while, small differences seem stark,
Whispers, pointless, yet necessary,
Into imaginary ears that cannot listen,
The weight, I pretend, is light to carry,
Leaning on words, as they arrive each day.
A clean room, on a bad day, appears a mess,
The walls seem to talk, with silence looming,
The quiet beckons me to a game of chess,
"How long can you play", it asks, "till you stop?
I can go on, it's my favourite game,
Will you keep going, until you drop,
Until you're nothing, till you forget your name?"
