depression.

Mood swings

Mixed with tears in my throat

I don’t want to be bothered

The fatigue

Is making it hard to function

I’m lonely

Caause who wants to be around 

Someone who pushes them away?

Sitting in the dark

Letting the loneliness burn

Like the slow burn of weed smoke

Traveling through my lungs. 

It festers in my mind

Life.

I thought I was confused

But I’m realizing

That I’m breaking free.

Who decided that there was only one way to be?

I have a dream and a simple goal

To be happy

To be me…

labels trying to confine me

i’m searching for some letters

cause i’m desperate to define me.

but i feel so alive

when i can’t describe

just exactly who i am.

and i feel less confined 

when i’m walking free

just being the open

honest

unexplained

unrestrained

random me….

the words

the words

i can’t find the words

i’m drowning in sorrow

and i can’t find the words

I feel…

I feel

And that’s new to me

So I try to come up with every excuse

To get back to the old me

But these feelings

They’re strong

Stronger than my indecisive mind

So I’m stuck

Stuck with confusion

Stuck with my yearnings

Stuck with my fantasies

Stuck with a person who plays with me

Without even knowing.

I feel

And just when I begin to stop

He appears

And I feel

Confused

And I feel

Even harder than before.

Dear leo

Your confidence amazes me

Your roar gives me butterflies

Your royal stance

Oh

How I enjoy your stance

You, leo

Please let me balance you out

Let me be your stars

And you

My moon.

Leo,

Open me

Release me

Be the strong lion

You are meant to be

And I’ll be the regal queen 

You’ve always wanted.

Sick and tired

Tired and sick

I want to write

Cause I haven’t felt in a while

I’ve been craving

And I’ve been hurting

But I’m void of feelings.

I want a man

I want to smile

I want to live

I want to be free

I want a connection

I want to feel.

Sick and tired

Tired and sick

I want to write

Cause I got a lot to say

The state of my people

Has me worried

We aren’t moving forward

And I just want to help

I want to teach

I want our women to be proud

I want our men to be proud

I want us to love

I want us to dream.

Sick and tired

Tired and sick

I just want to write

Cause it’s all I know
