is it cold in the water?
were you shadowed by distress?
did your void turn to wonder?
do you hurt any less?

it must have been the current
everybody said
but half the life you spent
you did already dead

i write everyone
i love
into poetry
how telling it is
that i do not
do the same
for myself

To extinction
Anything that feeds

I won't ask for help
It's about time I helped myself
I just don't know where to start

i miss when things were simple
and i had everyone else to blame for my wrong doings but myself.
now there's no one else left to blame
except the girl in the mirror

i am terrified.
completely.
of this being the best it gets.
that I've peaked.
as one of my old friends who i bumped into today put it
i've got my **** together.
and that scares me.

You get angry and sad,
complain that I'm not
the perfect daughter,
all hope must be lost.
I don't have a clean bedroom,
I don't always jump
to fix things for you
when you're in a slump.
I stay home too much,
but you don't like it when I go out.
So how am I supposed to win?
You keep knocking me down.
But before you get angry,
remember I bailed you out.
For all of my losses,
you owe me money now.
I don't want to lord it over them but they make it so hard to get along, when I've given them so much, I just wish they'd cut me slack.

its sad how the tables have turned
