It Just Is.
I just want you to feel as weak as I do
begging for someone to honestly say
"it'll be over soon"
I'm craving certainty
can I count on anyone or anything?
and I just want you to say that you want me
hug me like a hug should be
and say that you too, need me
I'd just like to feel a wheel again
this symbol of my independence
is pulling me away from a future
that should be a friend
it just feels like I'm all dressed up
even though I have nowhere to go
but I can't find my shoes
and you're wrapped up on the phone
And who knew I'd need to pack my bags
for a guilt trip I didn't plan to get on
my emotions thrive on playing tag
I'm tired and not very strong;
and I'm not ready
this taste of life - I try to steady
good thing I'm running out of ink
these words probably aren't as therapeutic as I'd like to think
