you came to take your
stuff — you can take everything
just take me with you

I tried and tried and tried for you
I wished it for me
But also you, too
I woulda made you happy, Boo

Being a people pleaser is a part of me
You ask if I can meet you
I’ll promise you yes.
My schedule that will not allow it
I’ll change it so it can
My schedule will be deconstructed and reconstructed to form for yours.

You don't seem to like my laugh
I can laugh differently
To your liking.
Molding and creating a new me for you
My personality being formed around you.
An obsession,
An unhealthy obsession to make a personality formed for you.

The lesson here is to say what you hate
Because I'll change for you always
I'll lose who I am,
But as long as you're happy
I’m a people pleaser.

some nights I wish you'd
just knock — it's not just my door
I'll let you in through

Trauma leaves a mark
That cannot be erased
Stays with you forever
Something not to be praised
But time is a healer
The memory with time fades
You cannot forget
What caused that trauma
That made that imprint
Which stays in your mind
My muse is unreliable
Silent most of the time
But when he finally sings
It’s a sound sublime
Unfortunately
For all of us
Including mostly me
He doesn’t
Believe
Try
Every day
Feels like,  
Ok now,
Try
Again
Try:  make an attempt or effort to do something
At least I still get the chance to.

count the seconds
because every moment counts
you might lose a friend
make one instead
or maybe even fall in love
I kinda hate this but I wanted to get it out of my drafts 🙃
