you yell at me          
tell me how stupid i am              
i believe it
you're my mother after all                          
and then
you burst into tears    
when you think
i don't love you anymore              
you're scared of me leaving
so you gently hug me              
this always worked                              
i'd burst into tears
you'd cry too              
and all would be forgiven
but now
i've realized                    
i never said anything    
i never hurt you              
you hurt me
always          
i'm done apologizing                                
for things i didn't do                                    
now        
you tell me not to treat you                          
like an enemy                          
maybe      
you've        
become
one
but you did it to yourself                  
and i'm so confused              
shut down                      
to when you walk up to me                            
and gently hug me            
as you used to

i don't want to ask for much
       but there are two things
                                   i need, please:
keep me safe, or just feeling safe when
                 the darkness closes in
      and i can't move for fear.
hold me loved, really love me when
          i can't face the light of day
                        and the numbered pressures it brings
   i promise,
i'll keep the darkness away from you
         i'll hold you loved when light presses in
just please
                          keep your promise

i can no longer look at birds
                    as they fly free through the sky
i can't stand seeing fish
                        as they're able to swim away
freedom entrapped me
no one is holding me here
but i can't leave either

if you're insane                
my being insane                            
shouldn't be too bad
we'll grow insane together

it'll be crazy

no one ever wants them
but nothing really stops them

*i'd be the happiest person ever, if you woke here
i wish and dream and pray this every time i fall asleep
