Idek
To self destruct or to grow
Conflicted
Lost
Stuck
I don’t even know no more
Eyes
Self esteem
Feelings
All low
been high for months
Been numb for months
Maybe why I’m in a slump
But without the drugs I don’t feel much
I mean shit just last year I was on deaths door
By my own hands only survived by luck
Ungrateful or grateful shit you take a guess
Sober again already tryna escape stress
Tryna avoid this mess
More like neglect
But on bad days I give it the opposite affect
Instead of tryna reject I only get more obsessed
Narcissism or a sadistic mindset
So many questions with answers I’ll never get
Say I’m numb to it all but I’m just lying to myself
