PAIN


P.A.I.N Why are you covering ? You're Just pretending Its deep and routed inside of you Even the bandaide is see-through Not just Physical but emotional too Stop looking for acceptance You've got to heal. F*ck convalescence Do you even appreciate my efforts? You've got to want it more than I do ThIS Superficial needs a breakthrough This fancy demeanour doesn't hide you We all need love but do you know YOU? Are you just an impersonator? Exaggeration is an understatement Self validation is a requirement Open wounds don't heal on their own Each cut makes you weaker So accept it and surrender .Yes Accept it and surrender Process it,  don't mask it You're stronger when you mean it Pain isn't a weakness Vulnerability is necessary You're only human that's what you told me Now you tryna blame me? Lord forgive me I wanna see you win And that's not enigmatic Letting go of your ego- that's therapeutic
