I blame my anxiety
Fear
I was meant to hold you down
Presume order
But the problem with that is you start to find comfort in order and are no longer seeing fear by itself
It is now partnered with control you think you need to survive
To make sure that you don't step on the lions foot because you where taught that then it would not be happy
And so you get comfortable making other people happy
Is it wrong to say I've found peace in making other people happy
Because what about me?
Have I replaced my love for long talks under the covers for clean dishes in the sink
With the feeling of you loving on my figure when I turn around with that new outfit you just got me in the closet
Why do I always have to question my peace when I think of you
Shouldn't are happyniss dance together and match up internally?
All about you
But also
All about me
Or do those types of questions die with my found comfort in making you happy
See I was taught not to step on the lions foot because then it will not be happy
And I don't like unhappy
Or maybe I do.
