Just give me something

Allie561

Give me a cigarette 

Oh but I've never smoked

I think I'm looking for a way out

Since the air has me choked

 

Don't give me peanuts

But I can eat them just fine

I need a reason to say no

Since I never could draw the line

 

You're too close to me

I've not felt love for years

And I hate the way I cry

Hate when you wipe away my tears

 

Don't say anything

Don't speak at all

I don't know how to respond

I'm used to talking to a wall

 

I want help

But I won't ever ask for it

Please figure me out

Every version of me is split

 

I don't know who I am

I don't know what to be

I don't know how to act 

I don't know when to plea

 

Just give me a guide

And maybe I'll be fine

    What a deeply affecting piece, Allie. Beneath all the uncertainty is someone yearning to be understood without knowing how to make themselves understandable. Raw, honest, and beautifully written. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
