Destruction
Trying to juggle feeling confident as a partner in a relationship

I ruin things
Not by choice
But naturally
It’s all noise.
I self destruct
Not too bad
But it easily ruins
Everyone in my path.
I don’t want to
But I am stuck
In my old ways
It’s really fucked.
I don’t know how to be different
I just want to grow
I don’t want to be like that
I just have to show.
I have an attitude that I hide
I keep it to myself
It’s my burden to keep
I keep it on the shelf.
But I love you
This isn’t easy
I’m really trying
It’s just hard for me.
You deserve the world
And you need to know it
You should get a lot from me
But I’m only giving you a little bit.
I wear my heart on my sleeve
And that’s not really good
But I need to just own it
As I rightfully should.
I hope I don’t ruin this
I don’t want to self destruct
I want to protect you
I think this is too abrupt.
I promise I’ll be better.
I’ll do it for you
I guess it’s also for me
But it’s out of the blue.
It was easy at first
But I’m falling too fast.
I feel really scared
That this might not last.
I feel like I care too much
And that is hard for me to handle
It sounds worse than it is
I don’t really want to ramble.
But I haven’t felt this way
Ever in my life before
I’ve been in love a few times
But this feels like more.
And why does it do that?
It hasn’t been very long
That’s why I’m terrified
To hear the ending of this song.
I don’t want to lose you
I can’t even fathom
You’re just so good to me
There’s so much passion.
But I’m afraid I’ll ruin it
In more ways than one
That I’ll self destruct
And I would lose a ton.
I would never hurt you
But I’m scared you’ll leave
That’s really my biggest fear
And it’s something I don’t want to Grieve.
I need to slow down
Relax and take a breath
Realize that you’re with me
And not worry myself to death.
But I’m going to take a step back
And not because of you
I need to protect myself
With everything I have to do.
I need help
And it’s too much to ask
So I’ll keep to myself
It’s an easier task.
And I’ll think smart
About my words and actions
I really love you
There’s so much attraction.
But if I fall too quickly
I’ll ruin everything
I’ll self destruct
And down you’ll Swing.
I need to be careful
I’m getting really scared
I feel really self conscious
It’s way too much to bear.
I don’t know what to do
I just want to be okay
Have no worries
That will happen someday.

Just writing poetry mostly. I feel like I have a voice that I have to use to express human vulnerability and raw emotions that no one really wants to talk about.
