Me, Myself, and I

I try to start all over

I try to clear my head

I try to think I'm normal

I try to believe I'm glad

It only fools those people

It doesn't really help me

If I could convince myself

If I could forget all this

I think I think too much

I think I take for granted

I think I dislike myself

I think I'm driven by silence

Why should I expose myself?

Why should I let others in?

"Why bother, it's gonna hurt me"

Why does it get me down?

The same outcome in the end

The same thing I avoid

The same thing I am

The same thoughts occur

I fear being alone

I fear committment

I fear people's trust

I fear I feel betrayal

I'm ready to escape my mind

I'm ready to free my body

I'm ready for dreams to be true

I'm ready for my rest.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this really late at night. I know it's not the most uplifting or positive poem, especially since it's about me. I thought about not posting this one b/c of that, but I'm glad I did, cause reading it again made me like it. Props to Weezer for the quote.
