tryna run from the dark
seeing through myself
my flaws are some holes
like some swiss cheese
i'm tryna please the whole world
and breathe
but that ain't feasible
i wanna escape and just run
and this is pivotal

these eras are slow motion
movements through emotion
the poison taking a toll on me
is potent
scampering around me like a rodent
keeping cool for some time
makes me think it's alright
but i'm not seeing the light

tryna keep my head up
while i trudge from the dark
lurks around before its ****
like a shark
i swear it wants to tear me apart
i mean i don't know where to start
when i talk about the fear
i have of falling apart

but then again
i don't know how to do
anything else
but walk
and talk my talk
stall the brick wall of self-hatred
from taking my all
immersed in prayer and self-worth
is all i can search for
and i want it
more and more...
can't do anything
but continue my run

- n.a.
