Balance

Working out my emotions. Thoughts?

It's not that it

"bothers"

me or makes me

"depressed"

(been there, done that)

I am just impatient

and selfsih

because I always

want to be alone

and then suddenly,

out of the blue,

("finally left your room, I see")

I emerge and

DEMAND

an audience.

I know it's not fair

but I'm trying to stay

alive

and out of your way

and it's a hard

balance

to maintain.

Such a good poem. Definitley very relatable. I've "been there, done that", too :)

Very relatable. There are periods where I just want to be alone. I just want to listen to music and the only person I want to be with is myself. Then I leap out of that. I love the way you said you "demand an audience." Makes me wonder what/who you are trying to avoid by acting this way. I absolutely love how you sum it up by saying that it is a "hard balance to maintain" because it really is. If you want to be alone with yourself, people may assume you are sad or depressed. But when you are feeling outgoing and adventurous and a little tired of the alone time, they change their opinion of you. Both of these phases are on completely DIFFERENT sides of a spectrum. Well I am just rambling now..

no nonoono I totally love the rambling XD And yeah, I'm glad you get it. I often will hole up in my room and glare and snarl at whoever tries to talk to me. Then the next day, I'll expect everyone to just love me and stuff, but it doesn't really work that way.
