I think I doubt myself too much
Or is it just a lack of faith in my heart
I think my mind won't let me be

I think it might be that I'm lazy
Or is it just an excuse
I think I keep allowing myself to get away with metacognitive ******

I think that I am strong
Or is naïveté catching up to me again
I think I am wrong on this

I think I need to slow down
Or am I just listening to people who can't catch up
I think I'm not fast enough

I think I believe in karma
Or do I just desire that the universe has a balance system
I think, logically, I just brought this upon myself

I think and act strategically
Or I don't and I move instinctively
I think I think too much

The truth is I keep lying to myself
The truth is I want to think I doubt myself
The truth is I hope I'm more than just this
The truth is I'd like to be on top
The truth is I think I might need external validation
The truth is I can't stop
The truth is I'm only human, no better or worse than anyone else
The truth is so are you
The truth is I'm not a runner but I keep sprinting away
The truth is gonna catch up to me
