Austin, Texas
I prefer to be by myself when I'm with people
When I get my peace and quiet, I'm alone with my thoughts
They aren't depressing thoughts or anything
I don't actually have thoughts
I don't think
I don't do anything
I sit there.
I start to think, do I really want to be by myself?
Do I really want to be with people 24/7?
It drains me every time
Sometimes a small nap can recharge me
I'd rather have a lazy, sleep day.
It feels good but i feel sluggish the longer I nap.
I think it's better to do the former
I don't think
I don't do anything
I sit there.
Watching sports highlights, waiting for the football season to start.
My body has turned into the couch I'm resting on,
Potato chips sprinkled on there like snow
I could text my friends, but that ruins my idea of a break.
A break from friends, from school, from work, from reality.
Then I go into deep thought.
I don't think
I don't do anything
I sit there.
I want to be successful.
Am I taking the right steps to get there?
There are people my age playing sports on a professional level
There are people my age getting on the Billboard top 100
I'll be successful.
Love the process
Every mistake I make is a learning experience
I don't think
I don't do anything
I sat there.
