I am trying to fight my dysfunction
face to face
ignoring it
won't make it go away
because as long as I'm bitter
I'll never see better days
I was working
way before I ever got paid
anger burning a hole in my chest
look at the messes I've made
my childhood terrorizes me
that's why I'm always awake
I hate that my sister cries
every time dad begins to shake
epilepsy epilepsy
his head begins to ache
don't scream at me
for how I grieve
am I the sum of my mistakes?
I promise you
that I am trying to change
this journey
has to start with one step
I'm not perfect
but I'm trying my best
origin story started
back when mom left
finances tight
I am trying to give up stress
my dad worked so I can go to college
I promise one day I will handle the rest
self reliance, self reliance
I have no time for rest
all the love I saw my dad invest
I promise one day I will handle the rest.
