I feel so homeless in you
Building fires in the cold for two
You are so homesick in me
Home is where the heart is you see

Blah blah blah
Enjoy!
Why** can't I be happy?

Actually...
                 why can't I feel it?

                                                    I know I'm loved,
                                      but my mind can't comprehend it...

                                            My anxiety just screams
                                          "NOBODY LOVES YOU!"
                                        "YOU'LL LOSE THEM ALL!"
                               Maybe I should just push everyone away now
                                  and find comfort within these four walls.

                           Because it seems like If I have nothing left to lose
                 I'll no longer have to go through with this self mental abuse.
-Ryan Kane (c) 2016
Inspiration was never
derived from what I saw
and admired,
never from what I felt
and desired

I found
it in a place where
I was weak and prone
with broken bones,
unknown to the world
and alone on my own

we were all just lost kids,
who had lids,
placed over our hearts by society,
we're constantly drowning in anxiety,
helplessly swimming around in the darkness trying to find sobriety.
//
And these dreams will be the death of me.
Broken sleep &
relentless lethargy.
I'm out of control,
so I'm told.
I've slipped outside of my soul,
or so I'm told.
My nose runs consistently,
Yet I don't have a cold.
Now everything hurts,
and yet I feel so cold.
REM dream sequences;
play me on repeat.
play on repeat,
Everybody hurts too but they carry on,
Won't admit defeat.
Not me,
I bend under the pressure,
Malleable,
& then break what's,
Valuable.
I'm weak at the knees,
alieness in alloness of stress;
Please let me rest,
Stop stealing my shut eye by looking in to mine,
I walked the line,
But crossed it,
No going back now I think,
I shudder each time I blink.
And in dreams I believe I could be happy,
Or at least not so sad,
Wishing to feel those feelings
That I've predominately lacked.
Now in dreams I wait to see a GP
in reality,
So he can endorse these feelings into clarity,
Prescribe me patronisingly with 50mg of setraline;
"I'm sure alls not as bad as it seems"
He says so candidly,
Whilst I'm sat here,
can't even speak,
trapped at the mercy of these endorphinemachines.
I scream internally and laugh out loud
Welcome  to  my  life  you must be  so proud

shh// don't speak,

trust me

your voice leaks

with inspiration, courage, trust, hope, and ugh

it reaks,

no one wants to hear all of that.
shh// don't speak,

or else you will get slapped upon the cheek,

by society for your words mean nothing darling,

they'll kick you out of their petty clique,

and we wouldn't want that now would we?
so shh// don't speak

sure you have a lovely physique,

but you're not fooling anyone,

we all know on the inside you're weak,

and if we took a peek into your dark little mind,

everyone would call you a freak.
so shh// little girl don't speak,
don't even shriek-
or squeak out a word,
because what comes out if that mouth is absurd.

**so shh//
little girl, don't speak.
this is about a girl who is held down by anxiety, fear, society, people and etc. she is afraid to use her voice.
