why do i feel this way?

It’s so hard to not judge myself against
Everyone
Because I’m constantly asking myself
Why are they more successful?
I guess I’m just insecure
I feel like I bring nothing to the board
I’m tired of lacking
I’m tired of always asking
Why do I feel this way?
Why can’t I ever be sane?
we shouldn’t compete
cause women should build themselves up in everything
I can’t stop my feelings
From being envious of you
My heart is confused
It’s been five months I’m going strong
This FOMO stays with me for long
I hate seeing your posts on the web
Because you’re always with him
I wish we could just be friends
Maybe it’d remedy this
I swear I’m better without it, I’m just bitter about it
I can’t let it go
Why do I feel this way?
Why can’t I ever be sane?
we shouldn’t compete cause women should build themselves up in everything
I can’t stop my feelings
From being envious of you
I want to feel like I’m good enough
Why do I feel this way?
Why do I need validation?
To feel like a person
Maybe this is why all my friends
Have stopped responding to my texts
They left me on read
And now I’m more a ghost than a person
Why do I feel this way?
I’m tired of being tired
Laying in bed staring up at the ceiling
Wondering when my fingers lost feeling
I can’t stop my feelings
From being envious of you
My heart needs a truce
My emotions are bruised

standing, waiting

Born the oldest in the family
All the pressure fell onto me
To be an example for everyone
Diagnosed ADD too late
Can’t pay attention these days
Feeling burned out like a match
Here I am waiting for life to notice
All the pain all the bruises the focus
How hard it is to keep things straight
Now I’m standing, waiting
You’re left praying to your daughters (!!!!!!!!)
Begging them to fix their fathers
It shouldn’t be their problem
Go and hide in the bathroom
How can you lead if you unravel
What are emotions worth?
Here I am waiting for life to notice
All the pain all the bruises the focus
How hard it is to keep things straight
Now I’m standing, waiting
Don’t forget me when you’ve already left
Don’t forget all those burnt, gifted kids
Wishing there was someone with them
When they walk behind on the sidewalk
Don’t forget us when you’re all alone
Sitting, staring at your mobile phone
Come back, be with us
When we’re at the corner alone
Here I am waiting for life to notice
All the pain all the bruises the focus
How hard it is to keep things straight
Now I’m standing, waiting

I call you Peter Parker
‘Cause you’re cute and smart
And I can’t help it
Cause you’re everything I’m not
I couldn’t be MJ
Such ferocity
She could save the day
Never people please
I need to see that I can be
Something akin to my dreams
Swinging in and lovingly
Helping everyone that you meet
You are everything to me
Been there since I was 17
Made me learn that it’s okay
To love yourself every single day
You understand my antics
Never did judge me for them
Respect all passions
Even encourage them
I need to see that I can be
Something akin to my dreams
Swinging in and lovingly
Helping everyone that you meet
You are everything to me
Been there since I was 17
Made me learn that it’s okay
To love yourself every single day
(Hey oh, hey oh)
(Hey oh, hey oh)
(Hey oh, hey oh)
(Hey oh, hey oh)
Swinging in and lovingly
Helping everyone that you meet
You are everything to me
Been there since I was 17
Made me learn that it’s okay
To not be perfect and love yourself anyway

the end (morning after)

Had a terror the other night
That I had lost my rights
Then I woke up and realized it was real
The end of days have finally come
The sky is painted red and some
Fools in Congress believe they know more
Where do I run to now?
How do we get out?
Spent my years in high school
Protesting things made by fools
Spent my years in high school
Protesting things made by fools
Hoping that I could have a future
Instead, my body is not mine
Having a kid is not my right
I pity those who don’t have the time
Where do I run to now?
How do we get out?
I am fortunate to live in
A place with other kin
I don’t want to be here anymore
How can I live knowing they are bored with me?
I feel afraid for everyone
Therapy can’t coax this at all
I know this is the end
I know this is the end
History will implode
We can’t fix the damage done
Climate change, roe v. Wade,
I am scared of everything
I will take up arms
Revolution 2.0
I will fight for our rights
Because I know this is the end
This is the end
(Get me out, get me out)
This is the end
(Get me out, get me out)
