Inflation

So what happens

when you hold back

let me tell you 

social withdrawal

intrusive thoughts 

procrastination 

self-sabotage

you forget things like

how strong you are

or how long it takes

you to do something

after you've failed

from putting up a fight

to putting yourself down

it's draining just 

thinking about all the 

energy you've wasted

when things could've 

been so much better 

so let me tell you

when you hold back 

it comes at a cost

and the price isn't

getting any cheaper

L.O.V.E. Notes: Phasmophobia

How long am I 

going to allow my 

failures to haunt me

I really don't know

the answer to that

perhaps I'll never know

but maybe if I just

stay in the light 

a little while longer

they'll get tired of

waiting for me 

to fall asleep

Exasperation

I know the feeling

when you try so hard

not to be the person 

you used to be

but the end result 

is still the same

either you're not

being taken seriously 

or they just don't care

does that bother you

it still bothers me

not like it used to 

but from time to time

I give it energy

maybe too much 

all because I wanted

so badly to be chosen

while forgetting 

the most important step

choosing myself

I'd always forget to do that

but I must remember

truly choosing yourself

means blocking out 

whatever anyone 

else thinks about you

and whatever anyone

has to say about the

changes you've made

don't let them undo

all the work you've done

it's not you anymore
