Your state changes
Inside and out
I never know which one you’re in
Or what you’re about

Someone call me
Inform me on how to cope
Locking yourself up
Doesn’t give you hope

There’s no way
That I can keep going on
But if it’s all over and done
I’d feel like such a con

Whatever, whatever
Here we go, Ms. Insane
Over and over
Just a big migraine

I’m in reverse
Back to before it all
Going, going, disappearing
Back to just a crawl

Unable to continue
Why’s it falling apart?
I’ve never been the one
To easily depart

I’m so sick of being bland
Baby I want some flavor
Give me something to want
Do me just one favor

I have no sympathy
Because it’s not me, it’s you
I can’t be your savior
I’m not going down too

It was okay while it lasted
But the curtains are closing
It’s time to let me go
Try not to keep holding

The author's comments:
This poem is about a bad break up. The girl doesn't feel the same about the guy but feels bad about breaking up with him because he is emotionally unstable. In the end, she says that he needs to get through this alone and be strong enough to pull through.
