Making Out You Are There
I’m not bringing up the past,
I’m processing memories at long long last
things I didn’t realise then
making sense shaping opinions
prolonged stress
no one to turn too
a tangled mess
my mind burnt through,
when life’s too much
you just shut down
Don’t process sight
don’t process sound
On auto pilot for basic needs
you just shut off
no pain no please
let things go, and don’t fight back
don’t pay attention, interest flacks
Personality dies, nothing attracts
You live life numb, an easy adapt
Overwhelming stress they gave you
no one in your life to save you
disrespect, they mock your face,
no interest to be your saving grace,
I changed because I was stuck
caught up in the worst of luck
No one around me gave a f
Out of nowhere I was struck
Yet still I couldn’t think those things
to busy fighting on my own
And knowing what my future brings
if I fight to the end alone
People said I tell fibs
make it up and always have
Thinking back they were pricks
All they want to do is laugh
Falling further fighting hard
enemies thwarted in their tracks
but I became emotionally starved
even though I won the attacks
I was winning but I was lonely
tiring though I was strong
handling all that was thrown me
but nowhere did I belong
It’s not that people went at me
It’s that I had nobody
I couldn’t talk or vent you see
No friend nor a buddy
