By Myself
Breaking down the doors that’s been so long blocking me
Blinding me
Keeping me from being free
Everyone’s on the other side but me
Watching me
Mocking me
Waiting for me to fail
Wish I knew so many friends were enemies
Wish I knew family didn’t care
Tryna hold me down
While smiling in my face
Who knew so many people could be so fake
Out here on my own
Depending on little to none
Heart heavy from the past
Mind steady on the future
Not caring about anyone else’s opinion
What they think doesn’t truly matter
Just me
And what I need
For me to succeed
