Stuck on You

Stuck on you,

already feeling so stuck on you.

Feeling a connection I’ve never had before,

maybe I found the one…

Right person wrong time,

that’s definitely true.

I know you’ll be back,

and I can’t wait for that.

For some reason I want to be with you,

so I’ll wait for you.

I hope you have fun,

while I grow.

I’ll see you when

you come back.

Wish You the Best

I don’t know what I’m feeling right now.

I just knew I had to write.

Thoughts running through my head….

How do I stop them?

I realized I’m being treated less than I deserve.

You want to play games?

I could play back,

but

I’m better than that.

You don’t phase me anymore.

It was hard

but for the best.

I just wanted honesty.

You gave me broken

promises,

had me believing lies.

You gave me false hope.

So ima go my own way

and wish you the best.

Not My Owm

I don’t go to therapy to find out if I’m a freak

I go and I find the one and only answer every week

And when I talk about therapy, I know what people think 

That it only makes you selfish and in love with your shrink

But, oh how I loved everybody else

When I finally got to talk so much about myself 
– Dar Williams, What Do You Hear in These Sounds 

A Cry for Help

All I do is bring people down.

All I do is push people away.

All I want is to make people happy.

All I want is people around me.

Yet it feels out of my control.

How do people live knowing

all they do is hurt others?

Please, I’m begging for the answer. 

How do people stop hurting others?

All I want is happy people, 

all I do is the opposite.

I need help,

I’m begging for it to go away 

and it won’t.

I need it to go away.

Sex or Love?

Sometimes it’s hard.

Hard to know why someone is with us.

Is it the sex? Or is it because they actually enjoy 

you as a person?

Sometimes you know they love you.

Even though you know,

sometimes that person does something.

Then the anxiety starts.

It says “you’re worthless,”

“You’re never good enough,”

“All you’re good for is sexual pleasure,”

“That’s all people see when they look at you,”

And then,

you can’t help but wonder if 

one day

it’ll be true?

Loop

Stuck in a loop

like your favorite song,

playing over and over and

over again.

Pushing away the ones 

who are close to you,

who you want and 

are scared to lose.

There’s no reason to think

this way but

here 

am.

Scared I mean nothing.

Scared you don’t care.

Too needy,

the loneliness consuming 

me. 

This is why I push people away before

they become too attached.

In the end they stay and

get hurt anyway. 

I’m sorry.

I don’t want it to be this way,

but for some reason it hasn’t ever 

changed….

Fighting a Battle with Myself 

Fighting a battle with myself.

I have something good, 

regardless of depression or

anxiety. 

My life is good,

my mind says no.

Through nightmares each night, 

I attack myself.

Try to convince myself it’s 

bad or 

I don’t deserve it.

Depression and anxiety.

Attack you…

When things are going well.

Is this why people like us 

never have good things? 

What’s wrong with the human brain?

Deep down we tell ourselves 

we don’t deserve

anything 

good.

You 

Let shit go.

Forget.

It doesn’t matter,

it’s not important.

You’re everywhere and 

I hate that. 

You’re always being talked about and 

I hate that.

You’re in my kid and

I hate that.

I can’t escape and 

it’s breaking me.

I have to forget,

I have to let go.

I thought I had, but 

tears are in my eyes and

I don’t know why.

I need to focus on myself,

at least I try,

but you’re everywhere so 

how can I?
