Wake up tear faced Wet and soggy pillow Thoughts of yesterday flood my head Mind wrenching messages True or untrue? Shake off the hurt along with my covers Lost in a book to escape the realness of life The last page's turn brings back reality Sneak away from the ache and into the shower Mind buzzy busy Dry off to get clothed Close the drawer and stop Just like that Pause..... And it all floods back to drown me in my own guilt Completely unannounced Hot tears stain my cheeks Break down and a mind **** Doing fine I told myself How dare Thought be rude and burst in uninvited Unaware of how much I've ignored It makes things better Until hurt sneaks up on you again All the time Never ending Once a day To all day No one to honestly talk to Serious matters Everything on the chest must come off They say it will feel better You'll walk away with light feet and postured shoulders But.... I know For some reason Difference calls my outcome Mind games whisper failure to my heart Slouched my shoulders stay and brick by brick my steps Every day gets heavier More stress and more panic Across my message will not go No one to hear me out Always the factor of skipping out on my feelings Listen instead of ducking into a battle Wishing I could say all the words rioting in my mind It drives me crazy in there Desire to scream lungs out Craving fixed hearts Hungry for your lips Devoting all my sorrow Encouraging accepted apologies My battle never won
