My Mind is Full of Terrible Things

(Turn your favorite line from one of your works into a poem)

“My mind is full of terrible things”

My mind is full of terrible things

I’m constantly in fear of what the next day brings

Trauma can surface any time it likes

It makes you remember it’s fight or flight

So few people with kindness in their actions

Most just want want a video to caption

Let them spill that dirty tea

Why can’t they just let me be me

Quiet and calm and boring to most

For me, busy days are oh so gross

Give me a small circle I can trust

With compassion being a must

I don’t owe you a damn thing

But I’m still going to explain

You should be ashamed of yourself

Instead, it was me who sought help

I gave you chance after chance to be decent

Can’t count the number of times I was lenient

Your attitude is the worst

Brought all your problems to work

We walked on eggshells to keep you happy

While you always accused others of being snappy

I hate that your trust was so easy to break

I know trying so hard with you was my mistake

Because when people tell you who they are you should listen

Don’t give them all the chances when they shit on them

So, I guess I can thank you for your emotional glitch

Actually, no, you don’t deserve my thanks, you selfish…
