"you're so in your head"
do you really want to know
what's going on in here?
it's not pretty, so beware

inside is a cloud
more like a storm
of questions and nerves
blended together
designed to wreak havoc

"c'mon just say what you're thinking"
are you sure that you
want those thoughts to flow?
it's gonna be ugly, so be prepared

the words that I will spew
are harmful to me and you
when I begin to open my mouth
it might just come out as
one deafening scream

"you'll feel better if you just let it out"
that's what my therapist tells me too
but not even she has heard me scream
so what makes you think that you get to?
A lot of times it's hard to even make a coherent sentence come out so I just get really frustrated when people tell me to "just say what you're feeling" or to "just spit it out". This is one of my least favorite conversations to have with anyone.

Said it before
Say it again

Don’t let me led you astray

Sad never more
Pain leaving

Won’t see you if that’s what you say

If that’s how you feel
If it’s what you truly want
I’ll leave you alone with zeal
I will stay long gone

how do you feel?
do they ever ask?
you pass me by and i wonder where we stand
am i okay?
how can i ever face..
my demons

did you sleep good?
(without the nightmares living in my head)
i'd say i slept as good as i may in a bed

have you ate?
I've had way much more than i can handle on my plate
so no thanks

who even cares?
if not you than me
is life ever fair?

questions running in my head
if i don't feel alive does that mean im dead?
wondering who cares and who don't
we just got
very tired
of
writing
we just
got
tired



very
?
even that
mark
is
...

I think I'm the product of things that I've read.
Some are evident in the life I've lived.
Some can be heard in the things I've said
Few have shown up in the ways I've behaved
and most have popped up when I've hustled my bread.

Is somebody else the product or what I write,
Can some of it be seen in the life that person lives?
Can some of it be heard in the things that person says?
Has it shown up in the way that person behaves
or the way he or she goes about hustling for his bread?

I often catch myself using few tips from self-help books or quotes from other great poets.Which brings me to the questions and more.
