There was a time I was looking for someone to listen to me
Without passing judgment
Without giving me their unsolicited advice or opinion
There was a time I just needed someone to be there for me
Like I am there for so many others
But deep in my mind
I was afraid to give myself away
To let someone deep inside my mind
My inner thoughts, my fears and insecurities
I got burned by someone and never have been able to get over it
To open up and just sit there and be wide open like the ocean
And to get shit on, it was just pure pain
Pain I cannot explain, far worse than any physical pain
Simply because physical pain heals in time.
Emotional scars just grow actually.
They never go away; they sit there in the cut
Chilling, lingering around, just hovering above your mental state
Constantly reminding you to not open up
To not give in to the person that wants to listen.
Sometimes misery loves company, but I don’t wanna host that party.
I just need someone to listen to me sometimes.
