I am running around on circles
-
Can’t get my thoughts organized


Is this the circle of life?


I seem to be overthinking
-
Overthinking and overthinking


I just can’t stop
-
What am I doing?
What should I do?


Telling me to stop overthinking does not help

I have no control


Overthinking controls me in circles
Lara May 2020
The demons haunt me in my sleep
They follow me

You’re the demon I meant to forget
You keep coming back
-
Scaring me
-
Hurting me



I keep fighting the demons
-
The demons in my head
The demons under my bed
The demons in my soul



But you’re the worst demon

The one that tells me what to do

You control me
-
You’re the demon in my heart
Lara May 2020
You are someone’s angel
You make people happy
You bring joy in someone’s life

You protect with your wings.
You’re protecting.
Just protection.

You protect with your words.
You’re helping.
It is your mission.

Be someone’s angel.
Lara May 2020
Take a look at the world
What do you see?
Are you missing someone?
Can you see the mistakes you made?
Did everything turn out good?

Do you want it to be like this?

Open your eyes
Open your soul
Open your heart

You are full of life

Control what you want to see

Silence
-
A part of peace

Silence
-
A place where you feel save

Silence
-
All around you



Silence
-
For happiness

Silence
-
For sadness

Silence
-
For letting go

Silence
-
For being alone



Silence
-
For tears flowing

Silence
-
For thoughts



Silence
-
For the world
You don’t have to keep being silent

Change yourself
Change your personality
Change into a different person

You are not good enough
You are supposed to behave different
You are supposed to be different

You can’t look like that
You can’t wear that
You are showing too much skin
You are covering too much

Society is not easy
There is not a wide span between showing too much skin and covering too much up

You have to learn much
-
But don’t be a nerd

You have to have fun
-
But don’t be a looser

You changed
-
I don’t know if I can still be friends with you

You stayed the same
-
I don’t know if I’m too mature for you


Society has high standards
Society has impossible standards

Make your own standards

You don’t have to change yourself
Change the society
Lara May 2020
Emotions
You can’t control them

Some people are able to show their emotions
Some people prefer to not share them

Emotions are private
Everybody decides who they want to share their emotions with

Emotions are a way to express feelings

Emotions can be rough or sensitive

They sometimes drown you
You decide whether to swim back to the surface or go under the wave and become a part of the ocean
Can you control them?
