Why do I have to think about you Why does my mind do this to me Why you Even when I know its not good for me Even when I know I shouldn’t It's you How can I do I choose the most emotionally unavailable person When I myself am empty, drained I give and give Even when I know I shouldn’t But I can’t help it I try to stop myself From getting hurt, damaged further But it's like an automatic response To show you love and care Like I know you’ve never really had And the ****** up thing? You deserve it So much Even when you annoy me to no end I only want to show you what you’ve never had And give that to you Despite the potential fear of how bad I will hurt, The pain I will feel. I want you to be mine. But that? Up to you.

What Else Can I Say?
You slink through the grass like a snake Watching me as I walk, oblivious To your plot, your chase, your capture And then you attack. Lunging at me, sinking your teeth into me. I cry out in pain, shocked You bite harder as I cry, And I swear I can almost hear you laughing. As you let go, I find myself numbing to the pain of your sting Yet at the same time, Wishing for another bite. Despite the hurt, why do I feel charmed that it was me you preyed upon?

Snake In the Grass
We live in a current world where mental health is more important than ever. Anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medication, sleeping pills. Why must we depend on prescriptions to appease our emotions? We have to be careful to not let these take over, but they already have. Instead of treating these methods as a crutch to get through life, we must tread cautiously. Taking ownership of our problems and worries are incredibly hard. Believe me, I understand that. I’ve tried various methods to try & fix myself too. But instead of numbing ourselves to the pain, we must face it. You are not your anxiety. You are not your depression. We can accept that these things are present in our lives without it consuming our identity. I cannot stress how vital it is to release yourself From negative people, toxic environments and even objects. I know its easier said than done, but we’ve got to start somewhere. How about we get hooked on truly discovering ourselves?

You Are Not Your Mental Illness
It comes in waves Not my love for you or the idea of you in my life But the pain, the hurt, the anger That I have worked so hard to get through And then it comes up and I am reminded that is, truly, embedded within me. Its okay to feel Its okay for your heart to have the weight of the heaviest anvil Its okay for that burden to sit with you. Just don’t let it crush you. You are strong and that is beautiful. Feeling pain means being able to feel happiness. You must move on knowing that the pain you carry will never effect him the way it did you.
