Questions & Doubt
How hard is it to breathe?
When your mind is not at ease?
In a sense you think you're fine, try to hold it in inside.
You affirm yourself, "I got this".
But you're not the kind who's reckless.
You always make a plan, and you're surprised you haven't ran.
Away from this stress, away from this vulnerability.
But you know in the end this will bring you mental stability.
Trying to stand, without a helping hand
Nothing except the voices, and through my head they ran.
Words of encouragement, but I was never sure of it...
...If they're truly sincere or if they're out here BS-ing it.
Step by step going through the motions,
the phrase, "I can't do it?"
Girl, go beat that notion!
