Just me and the stars

Will there ever be a time I don’t feel like this? 

Frustrated, attacked, burdened, worn

Sometimes there’s just so much to feel 

I’ll choose not to feel anything at all 

So tired of chasing shadows that weren’t meant to be caught

So tired of holding secrets that aren’t meant to be kept 

Tired of searching ways to numb the scars on my heart

Why must I be so self destructive? 

Why do I make the wrong decision every time? 

A happy dagger turns into guilt

An innocent joint turns to much more  

So tired of bleeding 

So tired of screaming 

But mostly I’m tired of hiding

Sharing secrets with the bottle 

Chasing insipid dreams while the moon laughs 

Staring into the mouth of the universe 

Just me and the stars
