I can't keep going.
I feel like I'm overflowing.
I feel trapped in all my emotions.
They build up waiting to ignite an explosion.
My body seems to have forgotten the ability to breathe.
All of this anxiety that's been hidden underneath.
The walls are closing in on me.
"You're fine, you can do it" they say.
I strongly disagree.
I want to make everyone go away.
I am not a window display.

Every person has their own set of problems.
Everyone at one point or another hits rock bottom.
So don't tell me.
That I'm not even considered a priority.
Don't say to my face.
That I'm an ungreatful waste of space.
Don't
I don't really like this poem all that much but I'm posting it anyway sooo

How is it possible?
It's not logical.
That every time I try to go see my "friends".
They are doing something else with their weekend.
They give me excuses time after time that are so stupid.
Lying to my face doesn't make me feel included.
After awhile the excuses don't matter.
Maybe it's me that doesn't matter.
I am not something anyone needs.
Your actions show that you agree.
I wrote this poem and I was very upset when writing it and I feel like poems help me feel better and it really does help me... I've been feeling this way for quite a while and it's nice to get it off my chest. Hopefully it doesn't sound stupid I guess.

I just have to make it look the best.
Or I will be beyond stressed.
Everything has it's place.
Okay, okay, okay, I just need some space.
Just to think.
It's like I'm out of sync.
I won't feel better until it has no errors.
I'll just keep going on and on forever.
Because once I start I won't ever quit.
Alright... I admit it.
I'm a perfectionist.
And I must say that it doesn't come with many benefits.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Here I go down this route.

Wish me luck.

I stopped engaging in the conversation.
I did so a couple weeks ago.
I stopped caring.
You were all focusing on yourselves.
As I slowly drifted away.
Of course you wouldn't notice.
You don't care about me.
No one does.
No one can.
No one will.
I am destined to a life of solitude.
Am I okay with that?
I don't know

My feet crunched with the frost I walked over.
I looked up and started to walk slower.
"What are you looking at?" you inquired.
It was late, I was getting tired.
"I'm looking at Orion"
You asked "Is that a constellation?"

I nodded.

You sat down on a bench and patted it for me to sit.
And so I convinced myself to stay for a bit.
I told you all the stories in the sky that I knew.
And when I ran out, we made up tales anew.

Before I knew it the sun was up.
And then I woke up.
In reality, I guess we weren't meant to be.
Because you found someone else to replace me.
I guess it's time to say goodbye.
It is the middle of July,

**I hope you are happy
I wrote this like a really long time ago and I took it apart and kept the lines I liked and got rid of the ones I didn't. I even added some. Hopefully it isn't as bad as it was.

She had such a big heart.
If only things hadn't fallen apart.
She missed every opportunity to live.
Due to all the fear that held her captive.
She pushed all of the people that cared about her away.
Because she was scared that they would break her heart one day.
But, what she didn't know.
That it would one day be the killing blow.
For, every person she ran away from.
(And that soon came to be a great sum.)
A chunk of her heart would deteriorate.
And something came to fill that empty space.
Soon, what was once that big heart, became a glacier.
Some believe that it was all on her.
Others think it wasn't her doing.
That it was never really her choosing.
To be ruled by fear.
This debate that took place in her head was always unclear.
I guess it's just up to you to decide.
Whether or not fear would be able to override.
