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
