Can't Stand With It, Can't Stand Without It


You can be a real pain at times

coming whenever you feel like it and make me feel

small, worthless, tired,

I have enough problems already

why do you have to make more for me?

Because it helps, it keeps me focus?

You give me headaches like all the blood is rushed to me head

I don't want to think about what I would do with you gone

because I'm afraid if I do, I'll do something to make you go

and when your gone, I'll feel

sad, sluggish, depressed,

I don't want to feel you in my head but I don't want the other 

feeling. It's scary and sufficating, not like you, Stress.

I can live with your frustration, now stop pounding my head.

I'm trying to write.
