Just wanting feedback on what I write.
I have a fear of success What’s to come after When you’ve achieved your dreams Do you become dormant Or form new ones Are we stretching for goals Every second of our lives A slave to our own brains That never stop running I fear success.. Due to it not being enough I cannot finish a race Just to start another My lungs have a capacity They’re already burning Losing their motivation rapidly What is being happy If there’s always more to chase A world pushing you to have more A world punishing you for existing A world manipulating you to do more and more To just exist Would be a drug of bliss The devil keeps it to himself Or maybe it’s god Holding it in front of us to bide to his will To his thoughts of how we should be It is impossible to break free Closest you come is by having so many paper bills Paper that society has pushed upon us to live our lives Paper that becomes our air A deep fresh breath is full of pollution Of tainted beliefs

Success
It's just like how that old broken down trailer Will always be my home That no matter how angry my sisters make me They're still my sisters I rigorously attempt to convince myself otherwise Convince myself to hate you To wish I never ******* met you But yet I always remember I still love you... To me, you will always be, Inevitable It seems I could run away Run across the world And it would be right back to where you are standing Like no time had passed And you're still waving at me The only difference is I'm so out of breath I haven't seen you in years Even though I've seen you everyday I haven't touched you Yet I've watched myself do it for ages I frantically avoid anything of you But there is no getting away It will always be you. A part of me

Inevitable
There's a moment Playing a loop in my head My hand sliding up your dress A giggle and a smile, so pure I will tear out my heart If it plays once more... And it does Yet my chest stays intact I cannot lose The little I have left So I let it play Until I'm curled on the floor Afraid to let go I slip into madness with you But I lose all sanity without you There's so many musicless songs That I can hear When I'm thinking of you And it hurts in ways That can feel so good Even the pain you can bring I've become completely addicted to

The Innocence
I've tried To be better for you Even though I don't have you Putting efforts towards something not there I am what I am I can never be good enough But I can decide To be the worst for you So that's what I'll do Don't expect me to be What you thought me to be Because here in reality Tha just isn't me

I am not
I have crashed and burned And you are nowhere to be found Where are you? Do I even deserve you here? I need you More now than ever before But I am just a thorn Come near me and you'll bleed I honestly wish I was worth the pain You are... I'd let you stab me so many times Until I am nothing but scars If I were you I'd stay away too Don't let me burn you too Let me go down all alone Throw me a bone And you'll be consumed Into the darkness That I'm falling through No amount of light Can illuminate these shadows Run! Run the **** away

I a Sinking Ship
Everyone, Do me a favor Just let me fade Fade away I don't want to die But I don't want to be alive So if this life Could just let me disappear Forget me Don't acknowledge me Avert your gaze God! Please... I'm tired Of telling myself things will change When death Is the only thing that seems in range So why **** me When you've already broke me Disremember me Let me keep destroying me I'm already dead No reason to look my way Ignore me You've already abused me I say I'm broken But really I'm nothing Yet I feel it all So just treat me like nothing

Avert your Gaze
Looking for you Inside of everyone Everyone I meet They continue to disappoint It's said "there's a million of you" But there is only ******* you My mind attempts to wander Yet it always sets home with you I don't know where to go How do I move from you?

Move from You
The color is gone Vibrant yellows Calming blues They have disappeared Even the blacks Seemed to have changed The world is dull and lifeless Just like my hole of a soul I'm in a valley A valley like a bowl

Dully Stuck
I don't think it's you anymore That is frightening To think it'll never be anyone Is absolutely terrifying....

Alone
There's only one her It's all a blur But I can't forget Now someone gets to wake Wake to her sleeping face Kiss her to life The only her. They get to fall in love With all of her flaws Hear all of her stories Feel all of her worries I feel despair I just want to touch her hair Will they know? What is before them A sensation on the lips That I'll never feel again Is placed upon them Like it is nothing To me it seems a sin To ever forget.
