Bad temper
Leave My kindness alone before I reach my inner monster
I'll not only silence these inner thoughts, I'll silence my kindness
Have been struggling for so long I don't think you know half of my struggle
I've struggled with patience
I've struggled listening
I've struggled smiling
I've struggled loving
Began laughing
Shhhhhhhhhhh
Just think.
I was a man no one cared for, I was a man no one wanted to be around.
Funny!
I've became a "door mat"
A people pleaser.
I chose that path so you don't have to see me with my impatient ignorance I once allowed to run my life.
I'm what you call a sweetheart, a gentle soul, heart warming caring individual.
But now im struggling and yet still no one wants to really be around me Let alone put in the effort to date me.
I'm starting to think
"Change"
Is *******.
Here's some ideas for you to follow, a direction for you to borrow. I'm struggling solo but I've got me until tomorrow. A
"Shot of inspiration"
Roses to admire
Thorns wrapped around my fingers
I'm giving my bottles the silent treatment
Tell me how'd it feel to take all my attention
Give me a reason to feel so hollow
Just a buzz to swallow
I've counted on myself for help
Found myself in hell
Take a look at my support
I've counted none
A slit across my vein
I want to feel numb
This battle had me in sincere pain
There was only one place to rest
If I was there I'd be dead
Found scars in my words
But couldn't understand what they've meant
Roses are beautiful especially when they're dry and dead
Thorns have a point, I've been trapped in my head
Roses
Thorns
New struggles, new chapter, new me.

I've been calling, falling, bawling, crawling, honestly any dramatic way to reach a reassurance from you. Tell me a story how you lost interest in me. Bitter sweet me up with a tough check. Either way I'm paying closer attention for me. I've received strength from lack of help. Fought my way out of hell. Tested the bridges I've built with people I genuinely love. Am I to fall again to drown in these eyes? I hear the same excuses.
"You're not like the other guys"
"I need a best friend right now"
"You're too far, wouldn't work"
I can go on all day but here's what usually hurts the most.
I'm chasing a ghost.
You've successfully raised my spirits to drown them with strung along finger I've been wrapped around.
One of the handful pieces I decided to edit and post lmk what you think

My face drowned under fire.
That liquid burns faster and smoother with ice. I began kicking rocks, down after a shot. Why was i here? Had plenty of other waves. Lost some friends without the chance of saying goodbye. Happens usually overnight. I've turned off my phone, just to feel away from home. I've gotten greedy, so needy. Always guilty of being selfish. When did selfishness become normal again? Evrytime things got so hopeless, I've raged myself out of control. All I wanted was a place I can call home. I've met some decent **** in the dark. Not all the world is so bad when most around you knows what it's like to fall apart. If any of them needed me, I've always shown. Through thick and thin..... I believe i understood that the most. I've became what hurt the most. I've gone down that dark road. No music to guide me home. No lights to keep me open for a ghost. I've haunted myself yet again. Away from a home, not knowing where to go. No love in sight, no lips of delight. Not a hug or a goodnight. A empty cold hand, not even a blanket.
I've doubted I'd make it. Always sparkling nights, my confidence crumbles and falls. Running away towards fire, dizzy, struggling to speak, I wanna eat, about to sleep, but surounded by company. I don't want another drink.

You've got me calm and crazy, just wanting to know you. You've got a hold of my attention, honey what are your intentions? I'm at awwe missing a girl i don't know. She's something amazing and beautiful. I'm drifting closer, but further. I'm afraid of drowning. Please rescue me, if I've gone that far. I'd for sure swim my best towards your arms.  I would always come from a far. I wanna know who you are? Have you always been this close but yet this far. Would you like to catch a movie or grab a bite from a bar?

She's gotta be ready for impulsive dates
She'd have to be fine smoking with my family
She has to have faith in me
Let alone be interested
Long nights in
Conversations sporadic
I want to love and adore her so badly
Make plans, live life, then allow ourselves become one whole.
But hers the problem with modern goals.....
No one wants to put in work
Dating apps need to be buried in the dirt
Maybe I'm not meant to be around here or the one hasn't moved near me yet?
A question I think to myself a lot
She's gotta be great with kids
Has to be patient with my best friends shenanigans
Someone I'd be happy with
Maybe even have a kid with
Where the **** are you babe? Stop playing and come find me! Single life ***** ***!
