Dynamite

January 9th, 2018

I know I’m always confused
But this time it’s not the same
I’m losing myself to this
And I’m the only one to blame
I don’t know what happened
I lost site of myself
I think I need help
But there’s nobody else
I’m feeling so lost
I don’t know what to do
I put up a shield
And they all see through
These people are all identical
They say the same thing
That I’m going to be okay
But why am I still aching
I don’t know what is wrong
I don’t know what is right
I’m trying to hold myself together
But I’m as stable as dynamite

Confidant

January 2nd, 2018

Here’s to starting something new
But I don’t know what to write
I hold so much inside
And it keeps me up at night
Am I being honest with myself
Or do I not know what I want
The reasons have piled up
Why this is my confidant
I’m running out of people
That I can tell the truth
I watch them slip away
As I’m aging out of youth
My head spins in confusion
My heart is falling behind
I’m trying to break free
But I’m feeling so confined
I keep reaching out for help
They all watch me as I drown
I don’t know what to do
These thoughts will bring me down

Tree in the Road

October 24th, 2017

Last week I found a fallen tree
But the more I think about it, maybe that was me
I found myself in the middle of the road
I’ve fallen down with no place to go
My roots were torn right out of the ground
And as I tumbled over, no one heard a sound
I’m screaming for help but there’s nobody there
They’ve all turned around because nobody cares
