I'm So Sorry


To get away from reality

I fall into a fantasy

Created by my own anxiety

 

Fear flowing from my feet to my head

I mess up relationships instead

By overthinking way ahead

 

Finding a way to cope with this

Stumble upon art's kiss

Songs that remind me of the friends I miss

 

The palette of colors

Allows me to create a life of another

It is a way to connect with each other

 

Emotions become loose

Facing all this mental abuse

This all started with me

I understand what my friends see

 

A child who is his own enemy

Who makes art with subliminal clarity

Please try to live more happily
