I Am a Stray

I am a stray

The one who has no place 
The one who stands alone 
The one who takes up the extra space 
How I wish I had my own thrown

The person who bounces around 
The person who has to flee
The person who wishes they were home bound 
Which is someone I don't want to be

I want my own family clan 
I want belonging 
I want a solid plan
Oh, how I've been longing

I need a stable place 
I need to feel wanted 
I need to not see the tears down my face 

Which makes me feel haunted
What I have is something in the middle 
What I have is something unique 
What I have is a crazy riddle 
Something new every week

The Fear of You

People tell me I'm not good enough
People tell me I'm worthless
People tell me to just get overstuff
So what is my purpose?

This is normal to me
This is nothing new
This is the part where you are supposed to flee
So what is the today going to brew?

I stand here feeling all alone
I stand here quietly thinking
I stand here emotionless without a home
So what is it ma'am, you are drinking?

Is it the smooth taste of my breaking heart
Is it the firey taste of your selfish words
Is it the clean taste of you attempting your fresh start
So what is so absurd?

My thoughts are a tidal wave of emotions
My thoughts are an endless black hole
My thoughts cause all of this useless commotion
So what is it exactly you stole?

You stole my childhood
You stole my pride
You stole my sanity
You stole my adulthood
You stole my stride
So what makes me wait so anxiously?

The fear of you.

The Alphabetof Me

Alone and afraid is where I stand
Because nobody ever gave me a helping hand
Causing all this emotional stress
Don't you wish it would all just digress
Everything seems so depressing
Feeling abandoned and always stressing
Getting your hopes up just to get them crushed
How I love how things are so rushed
I knew life wasn't going to be easy
Just a dream though, how queasy
Kind of wish things were brighter
Like in the sense of life being lighter
More positive and brilliant
Not as negative and resilient
Of course that is just how life goes
Plenty of cons and plenty of pros
Quite sad if you think about it as a whole
Really try to dig down deep in your soul
So now I guess I'll keep on being me
Till someone decides to just flee
Understand the importance of this suttle claim
Versatile is currently my middle name
Would you ever guess how much I strain
Xenial is how I will remain
You should stay calm and know
Zealous is the way to go

Wounded From the Beginning

I've carried this burden for as long as I've known
It has sucked the life out of me and created a clone
Someone I don't recognize in the mirror
Even though the reflection couldn't be much clearer

You see my eyes are empty
Hollow holes that once had a path to follow
Well, I was cheated
Horrible neglected and mistreated

I gave everything I had when that wasn't my role
It was all I knew and in a way it made me feel whole
I felt worthy of something that should just be given
But I was never destined for love even if I was driven

I later found out it wasn't my issue at all
They just had no more love to withdrawal
I was skipped, forgotten, left out
But who am I kidding I've always had this turn out

"Your existence is just too much to bare"
Even though I just want to help and share
I've come to the conclusion I'm wrecked
Incapable of loving another suspect

I find it too painful to even try
And how would I function at this point without the bad guy
Maybe one day I'll figure out what would be
But for now I'm just spending time on me
