A Letter To You
Back with my unstable mind
Maybe you’ll listen this time
Uncomfortable thoughts, I just push them all down
Turn my frown around, before you even ask
I walk around with a smile, that’s a handsome mask
I keep a clean whip because my mind is a mess
I'm trying to keep it all together
Thinking that every obstacle is a test
Every day I’m working on me
All the negative feelings, I try my best to arrest it
Positive vibes, I’m wearing it around like a necklace
I take a sigh before I take my shot
Because I have been going through a lot
Thoughts beating like some 12’s
Want to know what's on my mind I must say beware
I have to separate myself from the bullshit,
just know that i wish you well
Bad as they want it, they can't handle the truth, I swear
That's why a lot of things go unsaid
Over time you’re fed up
The next time you hear the truth is when someone pops their top and blows up
I had to reevaluate my thought and think twice Sometimes it's hard being the bigger person and doing what right
Trying to make everyone happy leads to sleepless nights
I just want to pack my bag and take a flight
Just to get away
Just to clear my head
I’ll be back
With a heart filled with hope
Like maybe things have changed
Maybe it’ll be okay
Or maybe I’ll see the same shit that made me run away
Now put my visual on loop
If you stare hard then you’ll see you
If you stare harder then you see the truth
Shit always feels the same no matter what you do
I gave it my all
It's about time that I chose me
And at the end of the day, it's always
L O V E
I need some time to tune my energy,
Until I'm back to me
I guess we both can agree on that
Surrounded by fake smiles and open hands
Don’t let them find out you have a heart
They’ll leave your ass burnt out
and your emotions turned out
The realization that they're misusing the love I spread
They said I was tripping
So maybe it's all in my head
Manipulation is what I hear in every conversation
I close my eyes, I'm heading to a peaceful destination
Because I'm losing patience
Before I spaz out
I’m going to give it some distance
Because this isn’t me
Outside I'm like fuck it
Inside I'm begging, listen, please
I care so much because of love
But what am I supposed to do
when I feel like I’m drowning and I look above
and there’s no one to rescue me
So I close my eyes
And hit an introvert dive
I have a big ass heart
So my love I hide
Been going through some shit for a long time
Hearing my story would probably make you wanna cry
No lie
My dad was like “you need to reach out”
But they’re not reaching for me
So I’m like why try
He told me not to bend backward for no one
and I’m standing on that
If they have a problem with it, then I’m standing on their neck
With all due respect
I’m speaking about how I’m feeling
With no smile
So they consider me the villain
I have been shuffling these emotions for a while
You’re going to have to show me something different
Til then this is how I’m living
A relationship is only as good as the energy that it’s given
So I'm going to back and get in tune with my visions
Subconsciously thinking that one day you’ll do more than listen
You’ll understand
Keep writing I love your vulnerability in your poems. I feel your pain and your frustration but also hear how deep your love runs. I could relate to this one even those it was from a males perspective. Keep writing I hope your voice is heard one day soon by many!!!
