My eyes don’t shut
It’s as if they are glued open 24 hours a day
My brain doesn’t shut up
If it was a person, it would speak all day
I try to count some sheep
But my eyes never seem to sleep
So ill just sit back, relax
and stay an insomniac

Sometimes, I wake up and I wonder
How I ended up inside
...Ended up inside
Sometimes, I wonder
How did we fall...
For such a simple trick
That everyone says that they'll never fall for
when they fall in love.
You said you'd never do the things you do.
You said you'd never fall in love again.
You said you'd never do the things you do.
Then why, why, why
do we not know better?
Not know better?
Farther down the truth....
Farther down the truth...
So far away from you.
Farther down the truth.
So called truth.
I thought I loved you from the start.
I thought I loved you from the heart.
I thought this was about you.
But in the end,
it's always about me.
In the end,
it's always about me.
In the end,
it's always about...

His eyes shimmered.

No need for the shine of a burning star
nor the glare of the moonlight...
For the warmth of his heart lit the path to my sanctuary.
"I love you, too", I replied.

I am scared of everything but
I won't let that steal my adventure.
No...
I'll never let it take me away.

I almost lost you
as quick as I found you.
I almost ran away
before showing you myself.
I could have kept running
and driving
and crying...
But I think I'll rip that page right out.

I'll be who I say I am.
I'll love you stronger than anyone.
I am different...and I am so sorry.

Sometimes I think
that I'm doing you a favor ...
running away
/a selfless act of freeing you of me/
...but now I see that is more selfish than

anything.

Am I old news?
No longer your muse?
Have you seen enough?
Is a new touch better than
a lasting love?

when the anxiety hits
i used to sit there letting it consume me
no
i refuse to let it consume me now
instead
i write
i write because I know I am heard
somewhere
by someone
i am not alone
anxiety does not own me or you
we decide if we want it to consume us
or if we want to fight it
stay strong
