mess


Yeah,
I’m a little screwed up
But I’m not sure you’ll ever understand
Just how much
I’m dealing with my own demons—
They’re mine, not yours—
And you should just leave me alone
Leave me be
Go away
I want to be alone right now
I hide behind my poetry, divided
I hide behind my music, my raps
Empathy is just a joke these days
You don’t really know what I’m going through
So please,
GO AWAY
LEAVE ME ALONE…
