Persevere

May 22nd, 2019

The seasons are changing
The oceans are raging
The ground is unsteady
These emotions are heavy
The storm in my head
While I lay in my bed
The clock ticks away
Turning night into day
These thoughts are not real
But they’re all that I feel
As I’m stuck in the ocean
I drown in slow motion
Awake or asleep
These thoughts always creep
The trembling that I feel
Makes me think this is real
This illness isn’t me
I’m somewhere in-between
What’s wrong and what’s right
Do I fight or I flight
The darkness inside
Has no place to hide
My mind might be the offender
But I will not surrender

They say that you should follow your dreams
But that’s not as simple as it seems
When all my thoughts still echo of blame
It’s time to leave who I became
Anxiety is not who I am
I’m more than just your diagram
I have goals that I will pursue
This feeling is something I need to subdue
Me and depression are not one and the same
I’m my own identity with my own name
These pills I take to make me feel better
Because living without them is too hard to weather
And I don’t know who I should be
I can’t bear to know this side of me
So I must find how to proceed
A path that leads me to succeed

Walk Away

September 2nd, 2008

You can’t make me love you
And I can’t make you too
But it’s a little too late
Because I already love you
And I don’t know what to do
Cause I missed how this started
But I know how it’ll end
I’ll still be broken hearted
And I’m afraid of the future
But it’s too late to go back
When I know in my heart
That I’m everything you lack
And I feel so empty
I feel so dead
All these thoughts are controlling
Taking over my head
I don’t know what to do
Because I know you don’t care
And I know that when I’m hurting
It’s you that won’t be there
I can’t take this anymore
How much longer am I expected to stay
Because every time I turn around
You don’t let me walk away
