Lyssa's Poem Book

If We Were Friends

There's so many things I would tell you

If you wanted my trauma and my pain

But I could never put you through it

I don't wanna make you drained

I fear I'm a burden to the ones I open up to

It doesn't matter who you are

Probably better if you just run through

Before I show you who I really am

I wonder if you'd hate me or love me more

If I told you what I wish I were living for

Would you think that I'm pathetic

Or maybe psychopathic?

I know I overreact sometimes

But at least I don't commit those crimes

I just feel tragically unknown

If I don't share the punches I've seen thrown

So can you feel me shy away

From what I wish that I could say?
