These Thin Walls

October 10th, 2018

These thin walls
They hear it all
You build them up
To watch them fall
They can’t break in
If I resist
So I will fight
And raise my fists
These thin walls
What do they say
I won’t give in
To the games you play
These thin walls
You’ll never climb
On the other side
I’ll leave you behind

Burning

August 13th, 2018

I’ve been siloed
You’re triggering my depression
I don’t know how to handle
All your passive aggression
You corned me
You robbed all my possibilities
You left me with nothing
But your hostility
Your actions differ
Then what you said were your intentions
When I wanted you to notice me
I got your inattention
This feeling is ineluctable
I’m overwhelmed by your censure
This building is filling
With nothing but tensure
I’m gasping for air
I need to respire
But this feeling won’t resolve
If I don’t step out of the fire

Asphyxiate

March 21st, 2018

I don’t know what friendship means
If it’s not okay to feel hurt
I don’t know who you are
Or when you turned into this jerk
You put the knife in my back
And you gave it a turn
Then you set my world on fire
And left me there to burn
You know that I’m already sick
And it’s painful to be alive
That I fight these urges every day
Because I don’t want to die
Yet you hand me the rope
And you bring me a chair
Then you leave me alone
Because you never cared
