I've been diagnosed and it all makes sense,

Years spent questioning,

Just stuck in my head.

Ignoring what plagues my mind,

Living on repeat time after time,

Yet without a sense of time.

Getting lost in the pace I was living,

Not taking time to stop and ask why.

Sitting in a puddle of confusion as to why my life became this way,

Numbing the pain through people, places, and things.

Always coming up short,

The feeling dies quickly,

They never want to stay,

Misused and taken advantage of by my own doing,

Breaking down day after day but still pursuing,

A life a chaos,

Living reckless but not free.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
