and it keeps me up at night
It keeps me up at night ..
Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years ? They ask me that and I don't have a real answer. I say typical things like " oh in college falling in love " or " oh working hard in NewYork "
Truth is I have no idea
I don't know and I really wish they'd stop asking
I'm at the point in life where everything is going way to fast and I can't stop it.
I'm at the point in life where stress is like my new best friend and faking confidence is my soul mate.
I'm at the point in life where I feel like it's all good long as I don't think about it.
... and it keeps me up at night.
What will you be in life ? How will you get there ? And where will you go from there ? I say " oh I'll be a millionaire, I'll work hard to get there , and it only goes up from there !"
I say with such confidence but in my head I'm screaming I HAVE NO IDEA AND IM SCARED "
I really wish they'd stop asking
'Cause what they don't understand is , I feel like I'm on fire with this ice cold bottle of water in my hands.
....and it keeps me up at night
Sometimes I cry about it. Sometimes I scream about it, but I realize that crying and screaming just won't work and I have to face this head on. I have to work through this denial.
I can't scream ..
I can't cry ...
I have to handle it like an adult. I have to handle it like a big girl.
I'm so afraid of who'll I'll be that I stay away from being myself ..
I'm so afraid they'll judge me if I don't succeed ...
I'm so afraid that if I even stumble on this road that they'll abandon me ...
I'm so afraid that I won't be all they expect of me ....
I don't know where I'm going, I'm terrified of who I'm becoming and it keeps me up at night.
