Who I am is who I will Be


I'm procrastinating again

Like I always do

I think it's gotten a lot worse

But I still feel numb to it

This should scare me immensely

I'm almost 25

I have no career

Have not graduated community

Still live with my family

No job

Who am I?

This isn't who I was.

Or who I used to be

I thought there was gonna be hope for the future

But some people just didn't want me to be happy without them.

So I'll talk about who I was then

Ambitious, young

Slow at times, yes

But I fought for everything I wanted with blood and tears

And just like that I lost it.

And now this is who I am?

God, I'm a mess.

Too much time has passed.

It's too late.
