Ants in your skin
You can’t let them in
Your brain or your head
Which will be fed?
Confrontations with harsh words seem scary at first
The vampire of insecurity drinks your blood out of thirst
From that dumb numb skull, you cry out in pain
The disappointment reins, the inevitable reins.
Caught in the act of running away
You’re judged on the work you’ve thrown away
Rationality baffles the kindness given to you
Until they stop giving you something new.
Could it be the compatibility?
The answers that span from zero to infinity?
No way will it last, your façade doomed to break
Until they break you with words & leave you in heartache.
When you ask for time, they ask for results
This two way street seems narrow at first
Because what can you bring that isn’t bullshit?
Crowding your space, crowding how you fit.
I can’t let it in, I’m gonna sink, I’m gonna be sick.
