INEEDAIR

Spaces filled with twisted views & useless opinions Enemies dressed as friends,family and lovers True friends cast in the shadow of anothers facade The world blinded to their greatness Flaws amplified by a thousand and one By one to cover a thousand and one flaws Told that I’m just a leaf in the breeze that hasn’t been let go Shown that even your dreams will one day come along and unapologetically hurt you Its my fault Only after the flood...its all good while the faucets running Water never bothered nobody that can swim Sometimes drowning seems like winning When surviving isn’t living Breathing stale air dying slowly by my own poison Masked before the necessity inevitably Now forced to be masked excessively Not just physically include emotionally & mentally Im hiding all of my rage behind the same smile that reeled you in What worthwhile do we have left if caring becomes the sin
