Self Fulfilling Prophecy

I try so hard
So desperately hard
To keep people in my life
Keep them happy
Interested
To keep them from leaving
Like everyone else
From giving up on me
Like everyone else
That I end up creating
A self fulfilling prophecy
Scaring those around me
And causing them to retreat
As my anxiety
Cries and begs
For them not to go
At any hint
Of real or perceived abandonment
I end up losing those
That bring me the most joy
Simply by being afraid
Of losing them
Of history repeating itself
And it never ends
It only gets worse
The more that go..
