Poison Thoughts
I swear they hate me
But I know they don’t
But I can’t get the thought out of my head
Fuck here we go again
Maybe its because i never had friends
Before the one I have now
Though sometimes i swear she hates me too
But I know she doesn’t
She is just tired
We are all fucking tired
Because life is hard
And maybe thats why I think people hate me
Why my mind is poisoning itself
And why words and ryhmes
Are the only thing to soothe the storm
And fuck I made it all about me again
Maybe I am poisoning everyone else
Maybe they do really hate me?
But I know they don’t
And everyone else would say the same thing
But now my breathing is getting heavier
And I can’t steady it out
But I don’t want to put my problems on others
again
and again
and again
So I push through
The pain in my chest
The heavy breathing
The thoughts that just won’t go away
I try to forget that my mere existence
Feels like poison
Though I guess poison is poetic
Even if it feels like shit
And I think I am oversharing
But of course I am oversharing
Because you really wants to hear my thoughts
My my poisonous problems
I feel like I am invading privacy
That I am asking too much
That I am being too much
That I am being a bitch
I wont correct people if they still say I’m bi
And I need to eat less
I need to stop asking for so much
And start doing more
I need to stop being lazy
And I need to do work
But for now here is the poison
My mind spouts
Make of it what you will
(This is what intrusive thiughts feel like. Its awful. The combo on anxiety ocd adhd and possible autism give me crippling fear of everything, i am scared of being perceived and I ALWAYS think people are mad at me. I don’t know what to do. But i will push through)
