erase your manic thoughts leave the ones that keep you guessing 15 unread messages count how many objectify you stare at the same photos watch them change over the hours are you there? have you fallen back into old habits? you still rely on physical touch expecting a hand to hold yours is the cure read your thoughts again 1am manic thoughts delete the panicked desperation 25 unread messages count how many you’ll ignore stare at the same wall watch it while tears fall are you still there? has anything changed? you expect company to fulfill your needs when you’re terrified of the unknown pull an all nighter all the thoughts are complied we don’t know delete the messages don’t bother to read anymore stare at the sky bring the tar back in your lungs are you always going to be there? are you put together? find your own peace make your own company proceed in your manic decisions wait until you can love yourself maybe someone will love you the same
