To see you
I feel like I have stopped running
I am standing still now and I am poised
But why am I stopping?
There is no time to be tired
Things to do
People to see
Things to say
You can't rest now
Not after all that has been said and done
All that you have been through
And I thought you were doing so well
I feel hollow and scared - inside constantly
Anxious to the point - where it is nail biting
I just feel like a spare … part … like I am going …
NOWHERE
Or that I am not getting myself in order
Out of place and out of my mind
What have I been doing all these years?!
Feeling otherworldly like I can't even express
I feel distant from things and want something/someone near
Troubled, alone and shaking and bending and grinding the gears in motion
Say it now and say it loud
The thoughts inside your mind are right
You have always been
A could've, should've, would have been
A no hoper
A flip flopper
A gobstopper
And life has turned around to you and has stop you dead in your tracks
Pointing downwards in disapproval
Sneering at you
So, shed yourself down
Break it all down and let it all go
Make sure that no one is ever too close to you
To see you
