To Conquer Fear/ May Contest
I feel sick….Not nauseous, or ill….. just sick
Obsessed with perception and depressed from deception
Mind games…. Mortality…. Morality…. Out of control
Unable to comprehend...to just chill…. And just roll with it
I’m thinking too much… out of touch… out of sync
Head full of bad wiring… I just sit here and blink….
Why can’t I just deal with shit, why can’t I rise up?
To conquer my lunacy, and stand up… JUST FUCKING STAND UP!!!
The fear is paralyzing, and I wish I could shrink
Into something less OBVIOUS, something much less distinct
I feel THICK, I feel disconnected… I wish I could hide
From these feelings I've kept buried deep down inside.
Have you ever felt hopeless???… that there’s really no end
To the feelings that grip you, or the vibe others send?
Read the rest of the poem Show less
I know why I feel this, I know what to do
It’s drastic, it’s desperate, but it’s only too true
I have to break free… my legs now feel steady!!
I know that it’s now…. I hope that I’m ready
Stand up…. Stand UP!! FUCKING STAND UP ….. DO IT NOW!!!
And I do it… and I realize…. That was easy……. Somehow…..
