mixed up

it’s scary isn’t it? 
to tread the unknown 
and to pray it ends well 

to believe in a person,
realize you have no control,
and only that they mean well 

i can’t breathe sometimes 
the panic rises in my throat 
i hold my aching stomach
i need to vomit 

why this sudden need 
to find my best friend 
and make sure they see me?
make sure they believe in me?

life can be spent with just me 
and my God. 
It is more than enough. 
It is more than enough. 

every day i wake up 
and the zero stares at me 
and mocks me 

he says i’m a singer 
but i doubt it 
she says raise your head 
and i do until i can’t 

there’s too much anger 
and sadness and joy and love 
all mixed in and I just need a place 
steady enough to let me lay it all down 

- les’nspired 

maybe then i can see it with something 
akin to perspective
