You Talk, i listen.
That’s the way this works.

You ramble and You monologue,
while i keep my lips pursed.

i wonder if You’ll notice,
i haven’t said a word..

But you simply entertain Yourself,
and i remain unheard.
Being an introvert is tricky. There's been a couple times I've just stopped talking to see how long people would talk to themselves... spoiler alert---it's a long time.

Would you rather
Live the life you want
and hurt?
Or live the life you need
In hurt?

I was okay for so long
I should've known it would go wrong

this black feeling won't go away
it never leaves, wants to stay
oozes out of everything I do
and the sad part is, it's made of you
it tells me to hurt, says I deserve pain
it leaves its mark, an ugly stain
I can't even cry
and I don't know why
I want to
I really do
this black mark can only be erased by you

Where is the key
you locked me here, for what reason?
let me go, I want to be free
tell me tell me what is the key
is it truth? would you like me to say
yes, I know I'm awful, ugly, liar, betrayer
is that the key?
is admitting these things what will set me free?
you locked me here
where is the key
please
I need the **** key
I just want to be free

I am so much
I am too much
Too much everything
Clingy
Intense
Quiet
Loud
And I’m simultaneously somehow
Still not enough
Even though I just had a good time with a friend, I still feel like ****. I don’t understand why I’m like this. I hate myself.

Allow me to cry
Not in this world
But in the realm of dreams
Allow me to relieve all my tears
So that when I wake up
I'll have no more tears left to shed
And I can wear a smile
To whatever ache I may face ahead

Scary

I’ve always wondered—
if I spoke more,
smiled more,
would I still seem scary?

Would my words
come out soft,
or sharp like they imagine?

Even I don’t know
why I wear this face.
Maybe I’ve forgotten
how to take it off.

Or maybe,
I’m just afraid
you won’t like
what’s underneath.
