Let me be

Leave me
Just leave me
Just let me be.

I'm tired
Exhausted

Dealing with this battle
Consistently

On off
Like a light switch

It gets to be so much
At times

I wish it wasn't a ticking bomb
Tick, ticking
Just waiting..

Fine one minute
A mess the next

I swear to you I'm not crazy
I'm not losing it

It's just how is

One thing for sure
I'm always going

Fighting,
Managing,
Staying Strong..

Falling down
It can leave me bruised,
Wounded.
Weak for days,
Weeks,
Who ever knows.

I've always gotten back up
Brushing myself off

Hardly think about whats
In front of me
For years to come

One day is a battle at times as is
Up, down,
This way, that way..
One me against me.
Against the world
Against you.
Against this..
How can I look so far?

I live in the now
More like flow through
Like the wind.

Like the wind.
It goes smoothly.
It goes roughly.
It,
it just doesn't.

Moments I feel
Mostly
Numb

How can that be living
I know it's not

Even with my heart
Beat, beat, beating
Safe against my chest
Enclosed

God I want to feel

Get addicted to it
Like a drug, high
On emotion

Problem is I never think
Once I'm feeling
About it
For I'm feeling

Until I'm back
To nothingness

Yet again.

Hate.
I hate.

That's more there
Than others

Hate..
Hate this
  Hate the lectures
     Hate the guilt
    Hate him
           Hate you
              Hate me
        Hate life

(Mostly) come to hate this me
One way or another.

Tell me something I don't know

For I know
I don't deserve this
You mean well
You love me
They always seem to do.

I know
I deserve to be loved
Happy
To love me
To love life

I can't control
Not so much yet
This me

Is
And always be
Be me

So might as well
Just let it be
Just let me be
