Young & Dumb Twenty Year Old


If I was promised my one wish would come true It’d be to re do all things from the moment I turned twenty to twenty six The person I was was selfish , mean , depressed, and didn’t care about anything not even myself The streets I believed was where I wanted to be But in the end it only cost me my mental health , severe depression , jail and my sanity Realizing that the movies and tv shows I saw were make believe Nothing good comes from the partying , long nights and fast money Sacrificing my soul for absolutely nothing is what happened unfortunately That “man” I “loved” the “men “ I’d meet only cared about one thing And I knew it wasn’t my personality I’d love to have one wish That I think of a lot as I grow into my thirties It would be to love me and only me Choose to do the right thing instead of closing my eyes acting blindly to what’s happening in front of me
