I wanna live,
but what happens when living
hurts worse than dying?
I wanna breathe,
but what now that breathing
sounds the same as lying?
I want to move on,
but it's easier to say
than to do.
I want to care, but
it's hard when caring means
giving in to you.
I want to be loyal,
but how can I give you my hand
if you'll only take my soul?
I want to be strong,
and I'm starting to think
maybe that means letting go.
I wanna live,
so to tolerate being alive
I'll learn to look out for my best.
I wanna breathe,
so to get back up,
I'll remove your weight from my chest. -
hello angst my old friend

I learned a long time ago
that I couldn't live my life for other people.
I learned it.
I engraved the words in my bones,
recited them in front of the mirror,
put them to song and crooned it into an empty auditorium.
I built my home upon those words like they were a foundation
that could never shake,
would never give.
I learned it.
I made it everything,
so much so that those words became just another person
I depended on to feel okay,
to feel safe.
Secure behind the assertion that I don't need anyone,
I branded myself "independent",
checked the box
and moved on.
I traced along a wall I'd built over the years
I thought I'd spent learning
through pain and rejection
and self-inflicted misery.
I worked from there,
cut off from the world
but forgot that someone only has to swim the ocean,
cross the desert,
trek over half the world,
to find themselves on the other side.
I forgot,
and you crept up on me like a dawning realization.
You took hold of my life,
passionately,
grew on me like a tiny bud that somehow
yielded a flower the size of my house
within a week of conception.
You crashed upon my shores like a tidal wave,
through my windows like a car hydroplaning out of control,
took possession of my mind like it was a treasure to hoard
and you were a dragon
breathing fire into an otherwise dark place
and made me feel wanted,
made me stumble,
made me forget everything I thought I'd worked for.
I forgot for you.
"I can't live my life for anyone else.
I have to make decisions to better my life.
I can't put anyone else before me."
I'd hummed these words under my breath
as I combed my hair at night,
looked into the mirror and told myself
that was enough.
I'd eaten meals alone,
practiced the art of
assuring myself
no one was outside the door,
I was alright,
all for this.
And then I forgot
for a day and a half
and ruined everything.
I'm so sorry.
But I can't need you. -
I'm sleepy and I want to sing terrible covers of songs that aren't depressing
