Reset Button

veins are craving 
like my soul needs saving
my emotions got me caving 
i just wanna be here waving 

on a wave like no other 
but please don’t tell my mother 
I hide behind a cover
while her daughter sits and suffers  

scared to call it an addiction
cause that’ll put me in a hard position
people will start giving me propositions
like my mind and self control will be in competition 

I realize we all out here addicted our vices 
all these different fixes be costing different prices 
the days pass and my tolerance rises 
chasing the high like I’m chasing grand prizes 

a grand prize that’s just a temporary reward 
one will last long just enough for my problems to be ignored 
other ways to be feel better, but those that haven’t explored 
need to press a reset button and get my
mind restored

get my head restored and revived 
cause I feel my inner self has been deprived
been down for a while, but no choice but to survive 
only going up from here , nothing else to do but thrive 

thrive in a new direction 
my flaws are to be corrected 
impossible to be perfected 
but In a place I can be tested

tested and improved 
the toxicity removed 
a better self who  I approve 
back to the grind  & get in my groove.

butterflies gone bad

is it butterflies you give me 
or u get me  all in my feels
it is how you disappear for weeks
and show up like we’re ideal  

I’m here arguing with myself
debating if it’s real or in my head 
one second you’re telling me you miss me
the next it’s hours left on read 

just tried to have you by side  
with you I was ready for any ride 
I’d look in your direction, and search that sparkle In your eye  
then took less than 30 second, to know it was only sparking  on mine. 

wanted  make you smile throughout the day  
& make you miss me when I’m gone 
have you thinking bout much you love me 
pillow talking me telling me i was the one 

one minute its walking on eggshells
yet when you hug me, I’ve felt most safe
you held me like it was honest
now left getting through the path of lies you paved.

Toxic but True

I say I’m independent 
but I’m lonely when alone 
I say I don’t need you 
but want to see ur name calling my phone

every time you call 
I say oh no not again 
meanwhile I’m wishing I could answer 
i still say I love you in my head 

I tell my girls it’s over 
deep down I want it to be true 
instead I’m addicted to your poison
still inhaling every one of your fumes 

i hate you but still want you 
how is that not toxic?
you make me cry then you make me cum 
I swear that  be psychotic 

I shoulda kept you blocked 
moved on and dissapeared
show you I’m better off 
and not let the fake   interfere 

I know they all be judging 
, I would be too
screaming out  “ITS FOR THE BETTER ” 
when Deep down my heart knows it’s true
