Dependency

What does it really mean to be dependent?

Everyone needs someone because they can’t handle everything by themselves 

Needing someone to lean on when it gets too much

Is that dependency?

Does it make you crave to escape your problems to someone else?

Is it like a slinking feeling down your spine?

I kinda find this hard to define

I’ve been told sometimes I’m too dependent 

If I can’t find the answer my self because I’m too emotional 

I attach myself to someone who will

I guess this is sort of a self reflection 

Deciphering the things that make me..

Co-dependent

I’m like a breath of fresh air when you first meet me

And down the line I start to lose that airy feeling

Now you feel dragged down

Suffocating 

I tell you to leave if it’s too much

Barricading

Counters Counters Counters

It does take a lot to handle the baggage that comes with me

Hard to even do it myself 

Sad to say my bad habits bleed into my relationships

Take ownership for my shit

No one can fix me but me

But I think I am just a little more than you expected me 

To be..
