I need to be more

expressive

By #anime #loverPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

It’s hard

it tiring

Everyone thinks I’m not trying

But I’m fighting myself

My brain-

My heart-

my soul..

I’m making baby steps

But according to em

Im a false prophet

I don’t try

I don’t care

But it’s not that

I do care

Somethings wrong with me

I couldn’t tell ya

My candlelight went out

It’s been like that for years

no self control

I’m wild in da head

I don’t see myself

like,

Everyday I’m changing

Like,

I lost my sense of self

I don’t like it but

Who can help it

I can’t

You can’t

He can’t

She can’t

I don’t like it but

Who cares

Not you

Just me

    Don't give a damn about what anyone says. Like you said, just take baby steps!
