Take a walk in my shoes
tell me what you see cause i promise what you see isn’t what i see
Broken down
Beaten and left for dead in my own mind
Emotions wild
scared to even let one person in
scared for life
how can i even obtain a real smile
do i even know what being normal really is
Anxiety taking over your body
fighting to win
and it makes you numb
how can’t you see how fucked up my world really is
its not easy to even look myself in the eye & say
i love me cause i be really lying to myself
never imagined my life quite going this way
and i can’t seem to catch control
so deeper and deeper the fire gets
how haven’t i fell flat on my face
cause i have no fight left in me
so please remind me what i’m saving myself for
in this fucked up cruel world

You’re saving yourself for those small bouts of happiness. A delicious plum. A lover’s laugh. A perfectly-timed gust of wind. Your baby’s first word. The world sucks, but not all the time.
