Self-Reflection
I'm moving my ego to the side for Self-reflection
My pride gets in the way of me getting help for depression
I love hard, but I struggle to show affection
I don't expect anyone to understand my Self-reflection
I'm far from perfect, But I try to please all
I act like I'm invincible, But I got hurt from each fall
I made myself numb, but when my feelings came back it felt twice as painful
Ever since I escaped hell, I've been trying to find an angel
I wish I never self-harmed, tattoos covering the wounds
I prefer being alone and listening to Hip-Hop in my room
I like drinking, because I always feel more hurt when I'm sober
I wish my parents didn't put me on foster care when I was 3,I wish we were closer
Growth comes with learning from mistakes
I try writing new chapters without turning the page
So I have old characters ending up in parts of my new story
I tend to focus on my many losses instead of my few glories
I had Love for many, but due to being hurt so many times, I don't show it much
I believed I had a right to play girls because of my mom not being around when I was growing up
The better she looks naked, the worse it will feel when she breaks my heart
My mind is in constant Rhyme mode, I can't Escape my art
I'm the furthest thing from perfect you will ever meet
I'm always trying to give you a better me
I stopped trusting, because people say they never leave
Where are they now?, Well I lied too, because I said I never bleed
I put my ego to the side for Self-reflection
My pride gets in the way of me getting help for depression
I love hard, but I struggle to show affection
I don't expect anyone to understand my Self-reflection
