I worry about you sometimes I worry when I hear the wind chimes I worry you're sitting there, cutting those lines I worry that you lie when you tell me you're fine You don't feel great always I understand, it's one of those days When you're sour, and in a daze How just yesterday you were in a craze I hate how I compare myself to you I hate how you only ever feel blue I hate how you want to go all the way through I hate how you call them only a few

Are You About To
I sent that letter in the mail Its just three words I like you But it feels like a death sentence What if I don't get a letter back Get ghosted forever Never see you again And suddenly your married Three kids A husband with a steady job A dog named jack My ears start to ring Its been two weeks still no reply I lay on the floor in my room Banging my head against the wall Everyday I run to the mailbox Practically dying But every time its empty Until it wasn't

please say you like me back
I’ve been carrying this fear quietly, tucking it between smiles and “I’m fine,” but it’s been sitting in my chest every time I look at you and think about how much I could lose. I know you say you love me. I know you show it— in the way you stay, the way you look at me like I matter, like I’m not hard to love. I believe you. I really do. But I’m scared anyway. My past still knocks when I don’t answer. My ex still lingers like a shadow I never invited, and outside of school my life feels messy and loud— parents, arguments, expectations that weigh more than they should. I worry you’ll look at all of that and decide it’s too much. That I’m too much. I’ve loved you since the start of sophomore year, back when it was just hope and wishing, when loving you was quiet and one-sided and still felt worth it. Now it’s junior year, and somehow I’m here— the luckiest girl alive because you finally chose me. That’s why I’m scared to mess this up. Not because I doubt us, but because I care so **** much. If you ever leave, it won’t just hurt— it’ll break me in a way only someone I truly love could. I’m not saying that to trap you, or to make you stay. I’m saying it because you deserve to know how real this is to me. I love you— with all the fear, all the hope, and all the pieces of my heart that trusted you enough to finally let you in.

Loving You Loudly, Even When Im Afraid
i stare at the text you sent. do i worry? do i cry? do i ghost everyone? do i get mad? or do i just.. sit here? frozen in my seat, eyes glued to my screen, not a word spoken. i ended up sitting there frozen, staring, stuck in a moment, for a good couple minutes before i had to reply in a way where i didnt seem insanely worried about you.

You Lied to me once, you Lied to me twice You lied for the third time!!! now, you are on thin ice. I believed your lies, I hung on your stories, they are not adding up, now, all I see is fury. You better change your fibs, If I were you, I'd be worried, about to give you the boot, and I'll do it in a hurry, I am tired of the betrayal, I won't sniffle nor cry, It's time to kick you to the curb, COS, OF ALL OF YOUR LIES!!!

LIES
i have all these strong emotions they swirl around inside me i shove them down and put a cork in the bottle the bottle that doesn't open it's easier to ignore the anxiety than deal with the difficult emotion but the bottle can't hold anymore of this feeling the bottle is shaking and exploding open the feelings are rushing back at me i'm holding in the tears my stomach is churning like the emotional turmoil i'm so worried I can't do this anymore it's all crashing down on me the emotions rain down on me like the glass shards from the bottle the anxiety shoots through my veins making my hands tremble and my heart ache and my mind spin

bottled up
We lived in different cities, we were two worlds apart. Each night I knew, we felt less lonelier, when we looked up, at the moon and the stars. Now we live in the same house. Trying to make it a home. Yet I get the feeling, That we’re not on our own. And it’s not the stars, that are watching us now. There are these shadows, they seem to linger around. I have the strangest gut instinct that your being distant. And as the phrase “Distance makes the heart grow fonder” would have been enough to hold back any of my worries or woes. Yet my mind has began wonder, And I think to myself: What happens when that feeling goes?

Distance
So, within the crowds of people and chaos, It was your face that I vaguely remember. I think it was in Winter or around December, If I Recollect correctly, it was probably November. You were walking through the Crowds, so tall and so lean, A crafted work of art, so unreal as it might seem. It was so noisy, that I was lost in my own thoughts. The expression on your face, was worried and distraught. I remember it like it was just yesterday I was wondering if your are Okay? you seemed to be troubled by something you just went on your Merry Way!! To this Day I remember, how you made an expression on me. I just wished I could have known what was wrong You are nothing but a Faded memory B.R. Date: Unknown

A Faded Memory
Ouch, A pinch brought me out of where I was Where was I, who was I, i suddenly felt the urge to sigh Ooooff, it was my birthday, I was turning 18, another rating, said my friends who were also anticipating Was I alright?, Miss Chad looked at me in fright I don't know, Just started looking at classic **** a little to deep I suddenly knew what to throw away and what to keep Some birthday gifts just weirdly started spelling the word "creep" Am I but another lost person or lost sheep Nauseous, I thought I was sick I turned on the TV and started calling Rick and Morty, Morty and Rick It amounted to no time that my homies started seeing signs of the ick From chilling with the mandem to playing the ladies's pick a ***** Now I'm at a refute to leave I'm no longer able to play "lots to take, less to give" Wait, I now have my own taxes and bills The money I have at my disposal, gives me the chills Hold on, wait, is this truly maturity This isn't what my friends told me I should be expecting Well, it's happened, and at least, I know it can be handled ***** maturity, ***** grown-ups, alas, they are still boats you have to paddle!!!!!

TURNING 18
A lost grip, Another familiar slip Running parallel with a predictable confidence dip Regardless of every other absorbed hit No one's record is perfect It was bound to become evident Taking a toll Beginning to show Worried life will dole out more trouble than one should be expected to tow Stashed in the back of a mind is the knowledge it's possible Work to avoid the void of a logic loophole that feeds the unreasonable While acknowledging life cares so very little About a big ol' white flag run up a pole ©2024

I pray For my Grama
Only time will tell they say, but when you're living in the moment... time seems like forever, a forever eternity that you been waiting and longing for, for the most half past hours. The clock ticks away and you're still in dismay, hoping for that hour to come quicker. Minds racing, heart is thumping, i want the answer NOW. You tell me every night you have gone to sleep and that you're sorry about how tired you were.... but now your mother tells me to send fourth a message whether i' am talking to you tonight? Does this mean you've gone out without a say, if so then you just cast me a stray. This cannot go on forever.

Clocks Talk
I feel like I'm the only one who really cares about the pandemic. I feel like I'm the only one who is scared to infect someone I love. I feel like I'm the only one who sees that a storming is coming. I feel like I'm the only one.

The only one
I fear the bridge of my heart would collapse and live me lifeless, I fear I might be dead at heart and not feel your touch, I wish your touch would last for a lifetime, Again, I fear your smell diminishes when you leave, I fear I may not want to hold you close because I am dead at heart. Is this how my life would end? A lone bridge with rough edges, where paths cross with stagnant water. I fear for the darkness in my heart.

I fear I might be dead at heart
Prove to me that love still exists Show me that I'm worthy for love Let me hold you and tell you stories Share me your most passionate dream Convince me that you're worth the wait Please don't let my heart continue to break My mind is full of anxiety and frustration I promise my heart that this is different Let me know that I'm not making a mistake For all I ever wanted was to be with you Going down this lonely road with you by my side I hope you see the love I have for you, deep inside These lonely nights, they get so old and restless Drinking cheap whiskey, to chase away the pain Peeling back old memories, that refuse to go away Holding out for a little bit longer, to be with you Feelings so strong, they will never let go If you only knew, how much I love you so Trying to move on, finding someone new I've tried over a dozen times, I lost count But when I see them all flop on their *** I find myself coming back to you, nobody else There's something I cannot describe You keep me in check and help me get by There are nights when I can't sleep, I think of you Thoughts race through my mind, like a wild fire I cannot get over you, it's just too **** strong Please help me understand what I'm feeling I'm just feeling so guilty, what I'm doing is wrong For all I want in life, more than anything, is to love you

Unspoken Words
I'm finally ready to go, But there is a fear that I won't let show. I'm so scared I'm going to fall into the same dark, I'm still forced to relive the past with every single mark. What if I'm not actually ready to be okay? What if everything goes great until people don't stay? Why do I have so many fears about this day? I keep saying I'm ready but is that really the way? People tell me the fears are only in my head, But I still have the biggest fear of being dead. It's true I've worked hard and I seem new, But yet there is something that still draws me to you. I always thought if I could smile I was over you, But I smile and the pain stays too. If you say you're okay enough I'm sure it'll work, But the demons will always stay around and lurk. So yea I'm ready to leave, let's see how this will go, Hopefully all of my emotions will begin to show. I really do want this to be different so please help me, I just want to be happy and be set free.

Am I Ready?
is something I wish someone would have said when I was falling through the depths of hell and my spirit was being burned over and over again and my voice was eroding while they cast my pain aside and took my power away so they could feel comfortable. they forced me to stuff the feelings deep within my heart and look perfect for the pictures so they could feel comfortable. they kept pushing me more and more, even though every cell in my body was joining forces to keep me from falling apart, so they could be comfortable. my body and mind were wrung out and tattered, and I thought the only way out was to do it myself. i would have given anything for them to say "I'm worried about her" and actually DO something about it. but they wouldn't have been comfortable with that, would they?

I'm worried about her...
He looked around is it my socks? They are lost but found. Is it my room? It is the place where I hold my ground. Is it my dog? He's everything but a hound. For there was a rotten smell, Oh, it is growing from the left where the hearts dwell! He looked inside Is it the unforgiven mistakes? He stayed sorry and, he cried. Is it love? He waits resolutely till, denied. Is it the vices, envy, distrust & their kin? He fights them till they hide. As the stench got closer. Oh, somehow it broke and, the clots give out the odour. He took it in his hands, the fragile thing came off, like drool from the glands trying to mend the dark-pink, swift and, soft like mink he should be delicate while it expands and don't stretch too much of its worn-out bands there's nothing but to try till he stands.
