Mess

I cant stand to hear your name
and be expected to act ok.
Going back would be a dream
never saying a word and just going on
but it hasnt been long and you've already moved on
i dont even know why i tried so hard.
I used to shake being so excited
but now i dont.
I sit and wait around like some freak
by the phone just waiting for a text or call
and when you dont reply i go out of my mind
and its my fault, it all is.
It's cause im afraid of it.
Of being with you and having some one care
Of my hand being held
that you'll just walk away and laugh
at me, at the mess i can be.
But im tired of this
i want to move on get over you
and everything you do.
I want to be mad
pick up the phone and just scream
at anybody, probably you.
But i cant cause thats the mess i am.

Awwwww…. ((hugs)) lil sis.

Awwwww.... ((hugs)) lil sis. First off, it's never easy breaking up with someone. Hope you get things worked out. "that you’ll just walk away and laugh at me, at the mess i can be." <---- (capitalize I!!!) But AWESOME lines! We are all prone to be messes sometimes...you captured this essence very well. Sometimes we fear people seeing our flaws and the disastrous sides of us that we try too hard to act perfect. Someone will love you for everything you are, Adri, "messes" and all. Peace and hugs Big sis "If I wasn't for all of your torture I wouldn't know how to be this way now, never back down you tried to hide your lies disguise yourself through living in denial but in the end YOU WON'T STOP ME." ~ Christina Aguilara

Hello ACC

These are very strong emotions and it’s good to get it all out...Good for you...Perhaps a good scream is not such a bad thing. Just remember, if someone makes you feel this bad, then it’s time to find a good soul-mate that understands you.
