Untitled Vent (04/24/2024) | Poem

I let this realm weaken me

Installing a cap on the peak in me

I wonder if it's too late

To be someone I consider great

I was told be focused despite the inbalance

To just cleaning my room can be such challenge

I feel in my heart there is such malice

I'm chipping as I go, don't want it to callous

I want to be there for everybody, I really do

I tear myself a part, when I fail you

Every day in a constant place of terror

I don't like this obsession of human error

I didn't used to be like this

I blame others why I be like this

Accountability is a everyday practice

I am not responsible for your actions

I don't like where I am, it's not safe here

I know it's all in my mind, can I escape fear

Of letting go of what don't serve me

Do I have time enough for the unlearning

There's issues my family don't discuss

And that's bullshit, I'm filled with such disgust

Hardly ever feel like I belong here

Picture perfect day? When my thoughts clear

Out of sight, out of mind, out of body

My Mood = "I Could Use Somebody"

By the Kings of Leon, need someone to lean on

But it takes so much for me take so much

Don't wish to burden with things I need fixed

When in the end, it's me who has to do the work to fix-

What was damaged, strengthen what is still

In my possession, it's based upon my will

But knowing which pieces to leave behind

Stop letting them cut me deep inside

I don't know why a lot of times

I just don't know, but I suppose

It's better to do something than nothing

That's why I took the time, to write a little something.
