You

So you found me hoping
You found that I was dreaming
You found me laughing at my worries 
And you laughed at my freedom
You took a stern jab of kindness
And cocked your fist real tight
You told me I should worry
And that would make things alright
You took some sort of freedom
And twisted it in half
You secured my insecurities
Until my mind went adrift
I opened my eyes
And found myself 
Looking down, wondering why
Holding on to discouragement
Because that is what you taught
You’re not like any other
You get inside 
And fingerpick my emotions
You jumble up knots in my stomach
You make me afraid 
You bring doubts into my mind
You are so deceiving
I could go on but I’m leaving…
