I can almost taste you in the back of my throat Like it or not you are in every word that I wrote. And. I'm tangled up inbetween the place of wanting you and wanting the best for myself But I don't know what's best for myself Just do what's best for yourself To hell with my mental health So it's late nights early mornings deflecting warnings with half assed poetry Most people I know trigger me in some sense of the word But in case you haven't heard They're saying I've lost my mind trying to find the love I used to know in myself back when I knew myself skinny *** kid in the denim shirt Beaming back at you before I got hurt back before I learned that the parts that you can't see are the ones that teach you to be The ideas that we could be inside of reality without fully hating ourselves And me I just wanted to be something more than the walls I was born into More than the **** I got into with the kids who turned me into the monster I have become It's the people we know not the places we're from that define us And I'm on that ultra light beam Out singing with the whole ******* team about another man's god dream The scheme that gleamed in their eyes so mean just trying to find they're own way And what I'm trying to say is that I want you but I know that it could take me down And I'm not about to drown in another wasted year In another ocean of my own tears This isn't coming out of fears it's coming from the place in me that knows that I was made for more That I am more than another girl's page from her diary That I am more than what the people are saying about me That I am more than what I intend or intended to be I was blind but now I see And this is all of me Ultra light beam A god dream Everything. So yeah I can almost taste you in the back of my throat And yeah I'm tangled up in that place but I ain't leaving a note I'm standing up for me And aI can almost taste you in the back of my throat I'm tangled up inbetween the place of wanting you and wanting the best for myself But I don't know what's best for myself To hell with my mental health So it's late nights early mornings deflecting warning signs with poetry Most things I know trigger me in some sense of the word But in case you haven't heard They're saying I've lost my mind trying to find the love I used to know in myself back when I knew myself skinny *** kid in the denim shirt Beaming back at you laughing before I got hurt back before I learned that the parts that you can't see are the ones that teach you to be The ideas that we could be inside of reality without fully hating ourselves And me I just wanted to be something more than the walls I was born into More than the **** I got into with the kids who turned me into the monster I have become It's the people we know not the places we're from that define us And I'm on that ultra light beam Out singing with the whole ******* team about another man's god dream The scheme that gleamed in the eyes of the teen just trying to find her way And what I'm trying to say is that I want you but I know that it could take me down And I'm not about to drown in another wasted year In another ocean of my own tears This isn't coming out of my fears it's coming from the place in me that knows that I was made for more That I am more than another girl's page from her diary That I am more than what the people are saying about me That I am more than what I intend or intended to be I was blind but now I see And this is all of me Ultra light beam A god dream Everything.

The Life of Pablo truly exceeded all of my expectations. Once again the Kanye album I needed came right on time. Kanye taught me how to write and how to embrace my own personal mess, so please excuse this mess of a poem.
