Struggle

Starving for attention, I consume your sweet lies
Turning my head to avoid your devilish eyes
My hunger pains me, while I weep inside

I pour my heart out to those I love
Only to end up bathing in my own blood
Tub overflowing from this flood

I’m In The best shape of my life physically
Yet the weight I carry inside still torments me
I just wish I could feel, differently

At one time I was diagnosed with having a tendency to minimize my Problems
Which at most times is better than trying to Solve them
Equaling my feeble attempt at staying off the bottom

I distract myself to keep from breaking down
All alone in this crowd
Feeling just the same when no ones around

There’s so much I wish I had done
So many times I thought I had found the one
Exhausted my mind forever on the run

My writing, my momentary relief
My gasp for air, burdened just to breathe

Defeated, I only exist
No reasons left to persist
All I know is, I never wished this

Very great lines you had!I think all of us crave some sort of love or attention.
