Leave Me Alone

Some days I just want people to leave me alone
I don't want to talk or answer my phone
I just want to listen to music in my home
Some days I just want people to leave me alone

Don't take it to heart, but I'm not in the mood to speak
I go days without eating even though I have food to eat
I have Insomnia so I'm already losing sleep
But I'm not tired, I could just use the peace

I just need to figure out my own mind at the moment
Look in the mirror, spend some time with my opponent
I've got to learn to love myself before I let another in
5 years clean from self-harm, but I'm still recovering

I'm a working progress and always will be
Anxiety makes me scared to go out sometimes, please don't make me feel guilty
I'm just trying to be the best person I can be
Instead of judging. Why don't you start working to understand me?

I don't want to hear from my booty call or ex, I don't want love tonight
I don't need anyone to hug me tight
Please don't call my phone
I just want to be left alone

Lynn Marie April 7, 2017 at 5:27 PM You are not alone in your thoughts Alex :-) My spiritual well-being is equally if not more important as physical well-being. If my 'spirit' is not strong, everything else is out of balance. I feel from your words that in the building of a 'new you' the 'realizations' come 'fast and furious', you need to still your mind to absorb and process. Kudos to you for seeing this now ...I was waaaay older..lol A great reflective piece Alex :-) ...though the 'booty call' will test you..mightily..lol Alex Duffy April 8, 2017 at 4:44 AM I think everyone needs their own space/time to deal with their own thoughts and issues, not everyone understands it though sadly. yeah I'm bipolar so I have 37634 thoughts daily lol which I need to try and take in everyone realizes it at different times, yeah it will test me lol, but sometimes you don't need it lol
