Shoelaces

Overthinking all over again   

Can't even be honest with myself

Feelings and thoughts that I retain

without even being aware 

 

Sometimes I put the blame on you

And I feel guilty, there's so much feelings

But everything is so internalized

I just don't know where to

start

It's said bluntly, but that's how you make me feel

Doubts

I don't know how I should feel

towards you

                      and towards me

We intertwine like shoelaces

I look at my converse and

I'm a stranger in my headspace

This poem is about abuse, and about the feelings related to it.
