Another dance with the past

Happiness is really hard to find when you’re not in the right mindset for it

Corrupted by past trauma that has made a room in my mind

An obstacle from absorbing light that shines on you

Clouded with the sorrow of how you dumb me

Left in a puddle of mud that I’ve been rescued from time and time again

Only for you to take me there, claiming it’s where I belong

My mind equals inferior to yours

So I belong in a sandbox

Only seems to be empty of all experience

So I belong in a trash bag

Only seems to be full of dumb mentalities

So I belong in a duffle bag to be shipped home

Why am I so low in your eyes?

All because my mind went through something I can’t still comprehend mixed with a lot of bad history

Am I not good enough?

Not special anymore?

Not spectacular like I used to be or was I always?

Wake up Sir

Maybe the problem is you

Maybe the problem is how I let you kick me down and encourage it

Maybe the problem is I can’t and choose not to be lonely, so I welcome your shit

Oh, now I’ve swallowed it for too long

It’s coming out at a speed you’re not convenient with

It itches you how I don’t agree with your thoughts

How I don’t value them like you want me to

Sad

Very sad

Let’s not try to revive what is dead

All you’ve shown me only makes me want to put the past in the past

No more roller coaster rides with you

I’m dizzy enough with problems of my own

I choose not to be pushed over the edge by you

I better hold onto the sanity I have left

You’re no good for me

Took me a while to realize…

A mess of a mind is worth sharing… I’m into content writing and copywriting with a little of exposure to my thoughts
