I sit in front of the tv
Brainwashed into thinking
That this monotonous existence
Constitutes living
I feel my mind screaming
For something more engaging
Instead of the useless stuff
Seeping from my screen
Sometimes the only breaks I take
Are just me looking from that screen
To another smaller version in my hand
I feel exhausted emotionally
Unable to engage in many things
But I refuse to give these screens
This kind of power over me
I am a human being
Not a lifeless creature
I need to find something better
To break this habit that's killing my creativity
It's killing my energy
My motivation
My attention span
And I will not have it
Not anymore
I will find something more satisfying
More promising in engagement

And then I wonder
Is this what it was like
When books were first written?
Or is this unique to electronic media?

you put everything you had into someone else
of course your soul is crying
I know you're busy and I should be patient,
but your absence always leaves me wanting more,
and to show you in how many ways you mean to me.
I leave you those messages to know,
how much I love you,
but sometimes I wonder if it's too much.
Do I talk a lot,
am I already pushing you away,
is there too many things I'm already saying,
do you really appreciate me,
am I really worth your time,
are you really accepting of me,
and everything I do?
These questions just come rushing in when you vanish,
and sometimes it's hard to manage,
myself left alone,
because you've always been my core,
and without you everything starts to feel cold,
so I feel the need to light that fire again,
by flooding you with my feelings,
and hoping you appreciate your significance to me,
but I don't want to pour so much onto you that you drown,
under the weight of my praise for you.
So I'm going to continue the only way I understand,
and that's present you with my deepest of sentiments,
without it seeming like an emotional brandish.
Our connection runs hard and deep,
and the thing I want most is to make it blossom,
so I'll try my best to not oversaturate,
the soil that we're walking on,
but sometimes that's difficult,
as longing makes the heart grow in it's devotion.

Yesterday
I was too much
Too loud
Too crazy
Too loving
Too confident
Too open
Too happy
You didn’t like it
So today
I am nothing at all
I'm too much
and
yet not enough!

Just get tired of not ever getting it right. I never know when I'm gonna set him off.

I'm slowly losing my emotions.

As everyone always told me.

I used to
laugh
cry
and everyone always told me it's too much.
Too much of this and that.

They told me,
they could never imagine me,
to love someone
to be romantic
to be this kind of girl.

They told me,
that I am
a cold-hearted
a emotionless
a stone cold *****.

Always too much or too less,
never enough.
I'm simply never enough,
not enough of this and that.

Do you really wonder why,
I'm sick of showing emotions?
maybe it's all fake.
maybe I'm all of the above,
maybe I'm not.

maybe it's just a role that I am playing.

Too slow in this fast-paced world
Too dumb among the smart people
Too simple yet living in complications
Am I bound to be like this?
Can I even cope up?
