A Matter Of Trust

Trust requires a balance of the mind,
A certain rationale
That has always escaped me

Too paranoid,
Too insecure.

Walking down the street feeling the hate from others,
The aura of uncertainty,
The imaginary scorn from complete strangers

Makes me want to curl up,
Close off the world,
And remain in my mind forever

I'm always careful
Walking on eggshells,
Tiptoeing around, as to upset no one

I trust no one.

Until I learn to trust,
Although I know I'm just being crazy,
I will always be closed off.Trust requires a balance of the mind,

I don't have much to tell you. I'm Nat, I'm 15, and I'm ridiculously boring

Face Of No One

I'm grasping for air but there is none. Once again This fucking emptiness has won. The battle of worthlessness. Simple. I'm nothing, I confess. Shadows I embrace. It's still clear.

Happy?

I've read around and I hear you say, That today is Opuss's happiness day. I fished around, and found my smile, I don't wear it very often, it ain't my style.

Pointless

Today, I woke up feeling murderous. I want to hurt someone, or just laugh out loud at someone else's misery.

Over thinking

I want my demons to go, Wished they'd leave me alone. So that my every decision, I don't constantly judge myself on. So that with the little things I can just leave alone.

Worry, You're Dead.

When my heart starts beating rapidly, that's when I know things are gonna go wrong. When my fingers to my body start to rattle and shake, that's when I know things are gonna go wrong.

The Sleepless

Twisting and turning. The world doesn't make sense. The fear twines around me. Suffocates the very essence of my being. Starved. On the verge of tears. On the edge of surrender.
