The confining construct

There was a Time in my life where I tried to undermine The lies in my mind Time being spent tryna justify Asking myself who’s this guy Time to get rid of the disguise Now I’m left with this persona Who lost his sense of self due to corona Isolated but not at home Doing shrooms dropping acid Went from being avid To my ego collapsin So when they ask if I been slipping Yeah I have been Forced to fight the feeling Born to write words that cause healing So I picked up the pen Becoming an addict To be a man amongst men Puttin my heart and pride on these sheets of paper I’m finna Break the stereotype and become a different type of landscaper One who cuts and trims the letters to fit better On this piece of paper That I call a love letter
