Dear messed up little brain
Why do you like to make it rain?
What have I done to you?
To deserve this?
Was it worth this?
I didn’t do anything to you
Well, today at least
Could you give it a rest
I’ve gotten enough off my chest
I don’t need to do any more
Let me adore life a little more
Don’t make me question things
Let me just go through life
Happy the way the way are
I’m tired
You’re tired
Let’s just see how things go
Take it slow
It’s been so long since we’ve been together
So much to catch up on
So many changes
Who could blame us?
Who amongst us is blameless?
We’ve all hurt each other
Annoyed one another
Just let me go their
And show that I’m not the same person that left
And see what happens with the rest
She is my happiness
More than a place to rest
More than any of the things others believe
They don’t understand it from the outside
They think it’s something we should hide
Something of shame
But there’s nothing wrong
With being perfectly imperfect
As long as you decide the small things are worth it
I know myself better now
Quieted in my discomfort
To confront myself
Feeling more wealth than ever before
I just want to show the one I adore
That there’s more to explore
I can’t wait to walk through that door
I hope we can all fit
And just sit
With the reality
That life is short
So, make the best of it

Gosh... that was saturated in melancholy and full of sentiments with which I concur. 🥰
Very nicely done, and the messed up brain is definitely relatable.
Marvelous!!! Loving it!!!❤️❤️💕
The brain--like an express train without any terminal, especially when it comes to relationships.
Very relatable! Great poem!
