Sometimes there's nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
How can you explain
That what you're trying to get away from is yourself?
When you can't catch a break
From disappointing yourself
Unmeetable expectations
Even though it's as simple as
Just letting things be
Deep inside
The feeling won't die
Never good enough or deserving
When happiness is so close
A hand smacked as you reach for it
No
It's not yours to have
Look but don't touch
I need saved
From myself
