Drowning

Too much work
I don’t wanna work that hard for peace
It’s too painful too
I want to feel something but not anything that extreme
Not the right way

Guess I’ll keep looking

Us

She's twelve and
She's not scared
with the monster under her bed.

She's twenty one but
She's afraid
of the monster inside her.

Too much weight

I'm weak
So why do you think that I can hold all this weight?
My legs are giving out
I'm falling to the ground
I'm surrounded by pain
I'm here but who's here for me
I give up
I need someone to save me
I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of holding on to all this weight
I must let go

Too much weight for me to bear...

Waiting

Waiting is just a pain
and disappointment
I only have so much patience
You make me get my hopes up
Wishing you'd do all the things
I've seen on TV
This is reality
This is my reality
Maybe I want too much
But maybe it's what I deserve
And you've got nerve
To keep me waiting
               Wishing
                    Hoping
                         Breaking

thinking too much

how can i tell you that i'm still broken?
that i'm not put back together yet?
how can i say that i'm hurting
when there's nothing there to even hurt me?
how can i let you in
when i'm afraid you won't like what i have to give?
how can i say that i'm a raging ocean
i do not want you to drown in?
how do i say that all i will ever be is a mess?
and that's not something i want you to witness.
how do i say that i'm scared?

Audra Oct 2018

is it all in my head?

Her hands were all too there,
And I felt their every move
I’m not comfortable.
I’m not comfortable.
We’re supposed to just be friends.

Is this claustrophobia
Or some secluded depression
I don’t like it.
I don’t like it.
How will the story end?

Maybe I’m just paranoid—
Repeating everything for conviction
You aren’t like this.
You aren’t like this.
I just need to get through the night.
