It wakes me up in an anxious head-space.
It starts to resurface again, the repetitive nature of my thoughts pounding in my brain.

I can’t ignore the stream of abuse that I unleash on myself.
I fall into the trap of creating needless drama and
Feeling helpless c…read more

You cut me deep with that comment.
All I heard was a bunch of word vomit.
We clashed, I just wanted to dash.
You wrote me off in a flash.

I knew I wouldn’t get anywhere because you wouldn’t meet me halfway.

Narrowing it down to one word: Depleted,
My OCD gets me so heated.
I’ve withstood other traumas before,
But this one just keeps keeping score.

The agony of repeating the same set of words,
Cuts deeper than any sharp-edged sword.
It’s mysterious shadow looms over my head.
Its hunger is never satisfied, enough said.

If only I could stay out of the…read more

I interpret it differently because it’s a foreign concept to me.
I know I have the capacity to love, yet the truth is, my inner demons are no help.
I create a mystery that can’t be solved, in depth, it just won’t let me be free.

I have a mental block when you push me too much.
Your words really pack a punch.
My sorrows are hidden deep within me.
Your emotional capacity is locked up and you threw away the key.

My emotional buttons aren’t meant to take thi…read more

Been on this battlefield for as long as I can remember,
Hits hard the more I fight to forget the thunder.
It ruptures my thoughts and every vital sign I have left,
Old feelings resurface like being a victim of theft.

Only to find myself begging for more.
I try to muster up the energy to w…read more

She burdens herself with excess stress.
All she wants is to keep up the pace.
Personal growth is subjective at best,
Not letting her purpose go to waste.

She stands on the edge of a mountain cliff.
She knows her only enemy is when her mood shifts.
The empty feeling only compounds the distraught thoughts.
There’s hope in her corner, so her a…read more
