Five Days
What am I doing wrong?
Everything is blowing up
Losing my mind over this
Can’t help but feel helpless
Hiding behind a facade
I’m scared to face my feelings
I don’t want to talk about this
Rather sink back and disappear
In the end it’s all my fault
Tried to lead and things failed
Always wanted to be a superhero
Instead I’m just acting cowardly
Didn’t expect any of this to happen
I knew my actions had consequences
But I didn’t expect things to hit hard
I should of just been more aware
I know the right answer but
I’m scared to answer the problem
I don’t want to hurt anyone
With my actions and words
I’ll do what I can for now
And take a step back from now on
