I start this off staring at a blank page

An open office documentA blinking cursorPassing daysWithout a single wordSome say it's absurdLike I float along a stream of words unsaidChoosing not to cast my netBut I spend so long questioning myselfIf this isn't rightThen does that mean I failed?Will my melodies ever live upWill my metaphors be profound enoughWill I ever outdo myselfThe ceiling gets higher and higherIt's harder and harder to shatterAnd when I fallI fall worse than I ever did beforeEvaluating the damage no I just don't understand itConflicted by the very air I breatheA love with hatred laced betweenYou can see it in my eyesA child's spark lights up the nightConstant search for approval, suffocated by refusalDevouring my skull but never feeling full
Oh, dear I don't wanna be a burdenBut could you please be a little more concerned withThe overactive mind of a believerThe toxic thoughts of an overachieverOh, dear if only you could feel itThe crippling fear of being desertedYou can't touch the heat of this feverThe toxic thoughts of an overachiever
I start this off a little confusedWriters block doesn't existIt's not a word I'm supposed to useBecause it's all in my mindA parasite I'm supposed to findBut sometimesWell most timesIt's so hard to defineSo I pour a couple drinksGetting drunk on gasolineFire pulses in my veinsI'm sick of waiting for the dayThat courage overtakes my brainFor someone to say it's okayI've lived my whole life afraidIt's time for me to be braveTo embrace a forestThat's so dark and unknownBecause no great adventurer has a paved path to roamThey pave as they goDisappointed gazes leaving poisoned bread crumb tracesI'm not taking the baitLet them rot in their place
I deserve to be alrightI deserve to sleep at nightI'm my closest friend, I remind myself againBetter treat her well, 'cause she's with me till the end
Oh, dear I don't wanna be a burdenBut could you please be a little more concerned withThe overactive mind of a believerThe toxic thoughts of an overachieverOh, dear if only you could feel itThe crippling fear of being desertedYou can't touch the heat of this feverThe toxic thoughts of an overachiever
Sometimes I forget the feelingOf every single nerve tinglingBetter than any lovers touchI've created tears of pain and burns of lustI've created a forest a safe place for myselfThat others have foundSome attempt to destroy and others feed the groundFertilize my mind with melodies and rhymesA sorcerer of time, take you back to the nightWhen you pondered your death when somebody leftWhen you lie awake broken 'cause your head is unkeptAnd let me remind youThat everything is temporaryYou and I are temporaryAnd this feeling that's so scarySomeday you'll realize that thoughts so heavyDon't mean you're unsteadyBut that you're only getting ready to say nice to meet youTo somebody you never knewYou
