Forced complacency
Every time I try to better myself,
somehow it backfires.
It took so long for me to be able
to admit and accept that I need help.
So now that I'm finally making
the first move to fix me,
why is it just not working?
I have tried to find a therapist,
spent two hours looking
just to leave unanswered messages.
I have tried to confront my abusers
just to be met with denial and anger.
I have tried to find an outlet or a hobby
but everything I do, I do for other people
and I hate everything I create.
I have tried to figure out where I stand with my partner
but I'm too scared I'm not in the right headspace
to make important decisions and I'll regret anything I do.
I have questioned my sexuality for the first time ever,
ashamed that it was brought upon by another.
But I'm just confused and uncomfortable with the idea
that I was never bisexual, and have to lean on the queer crutch.
I am so tired of living in the depression nest
that has become my windowless apartment
but whenever I start to clean, I get overwhelmed
and so the cycle restarts, an infinite loop of mess.
I really do want to change and I'm trying,
but every time I do, I feel like I'm taking
half a step forward and two steps back,
but I know I will eventually stop trying.
I just hope something works before then.

" Every time I try to better myself" you start by saying ...
Why do you want to change by you or by / for others?
-If it's for you get an introspection .. your best than anyone you know. What done is done...
Are you not happy with the life you have? So yeah ... change your life circumstances.
You don't want to change yourself. You could only change habits and that only if you want.With discipline and will. If you don't have that then you need someone (therapist, you say).
- If you want to change for other bad business, don't kid yourself .. it wouldn't work
My message is that it is not to decide anything now that you are confused .. take your time and the day will come that the answer comes from within, you only live once and think that maybe it is your last best years ... this last It's for you to laugh, you have to look optimistic to the future. If you can't do this ... fall asleep now, I'm tough, but sincere.

If it is for you, you could only change habits and not certain emotional needs, you know...
Do not try to change for and for others, it would not work.
