Kurt Cobain
I was always the first to blame myself
For all the hurt and pain I felt
A few times I even tried to Kurt Cobain myself
But I picked up a pen and these words came to help
I'm going to say everything that should be said right now
Looking back, I could be dead right now
Got told I'd be dead by 21, I'm 25 now, I guess that makes me a success
Gave a lot of fight, but I have enough left
Broke a few girls hearts, but I didn't mean to do the damage
I don't have kids, I hope there aren't kids out there that are mine from girls I had one night stands with
But if there are, I hope they track me down cause no kid should Be without a dad
Unable to commit to the girl's cause I was too broken hearted and sad
Depression had control of me for too much of my life
So much so that I became friends with self harm, fell in love with the knife
Made myself bleed and laughed
But I'm still here, so I beat the past
Never been a quitter, but who hasn't thought about it a few times?
Being called brainless just gave me a new mind
Admitted to being bipolar, self harming, depression & anxiety, how can anyone act surprised by what they do find?
Crazy how I got stronger from writing a few rhymes
I was always the first to blame myself
For all the hurt and pain I felt
I'm glad I didn't Kurt Cobain myself
Cause times got better, when these words came to help
