It's Me Not You
This poem is about a struggle between a person loving another, due to past mental injuries of another person. Can they take the risk?

Wake up in the morning not wanting to move
Tossing and turning don’t know what to do
I know how I’m supposed to feel but I bring myself to you
Still stuck on my mind girl like glue
Under the covers my demons hold me to
But I can’t carry on I’m lost in blues
Trapped and I’m locked up the key gone but my feeling for you still linger on
Different scenarios pass by as I try to figure out why?
In my mind we could be happy talking but instead I’m blocking
Can’t keep up with these emotions, there’s no talking
You’re a memory dancing in my mind but you’re a con
'Cause nothing was real I was just a pawn
I got people waiting for me to carry on
Carry on like nothing happened as if you were gone
But I can’t carry on I’m lost in the blues
All I can think about is how I should love you
You can try to drag me on but there’s no hitting snooze
I was used, mistreated, hated for many reasons
Still trying to find myself I might choose
To let you go before you could be of use
My mind is a canvas of darkness with no artist
You could try to paint the white but the black will bleed through
I just wanna smile, smile with you
Be genuinely happy, only being us two
We both lay in bed wanting to break through
A wall that we built up too soon, protecting us from each other we don’t know what to do
Take a risk and leap in, is love myth that happened to slip in
I know what I want but I can’t feel what I thought
Can you carry on with me, if not just be free like the bird I wish to be.

Writing poetry has been apart of me since elementary school. When I write, I write with my emotion and real self, no holding back. It's a way of getting others to relate to me and for me to express myself to others.
