Maybe it's...

by AlainaPoetry

I'm starting to think it's me. Maybe I ask to much, though, admittedly, maybe's it's because I don't know what I am asking for? I am starting to think, it's me. Maybe I am the problem. Or maybe that's just the voice in my head, like a vice, crushing any minor thing, like an atom, until it splits with the force of a thousand suns. Or maybe it's everything else, me included. Maybe I just say it's me, because I am my biggest bully, and easiest target. I thought I was asking for simple things, but nothing seems simple anymore. I just want these ropes untied from my hands. Trapped in my own mind like a hostage, who doesn't care if they make it out. There is no greener grass on the other side, I just wish this grass wasn't wet. Sticking to me like feathers and tar. I'm starting to think that I am just coasting along, waiting for someone to help me fix my boat for me, before it sinks.
