Perspective

Got so many things on my mind That I want to share But I can't because I'm so anxious So much shit in this world That I can't stand to bear Makes me feel so angry So many people out there They don't even care About what they're saying Now I'm talking 'bout my feelings I don't usually dare But I feel that it's needed So often in life We don't lay it bare To our loved ones That are always there We don't open up Cus we're often scared Of standing out from the rest And being rare Let's get everything off our chest For the best No matter how much you want to protest Life brings us challenges It's a big part of the test To see how we fare To make us aware To get us prepared No need for despair That's too much to bear It's time to share the repair Showing any sign of emotion Doesn't mean that you're potentially broken It's just good to be basically open Rather than always just being unspoken I've found it's a better way of coping To speak out instead of just choking In the past, all I've done is moping Spent way too much time just moaning I just wanna keep on growing Instead of closing up and exploding That's why Imma keep unloading And allow my heart to keep on hoping It's taken me time To realize who I am As a person Not saying that my journey's complete All I know is it's working All these burdens holding me down I'd rather just let them out And be woken It's a learning process day after day Stop shaming myself and just focus Know I'm so vocal Easy to read That's the best way I know I might not agree with the way That I handle my thoughts and feelings Makes me feel like I'm a weakling I could give you so many reasons Who cares what others are seeing It's not about them It's about me Learning lessons from previous mistakes That I've made Responding to my thoughts and emotions With such different perspectives That's not a bad thing to execute It's just funny when I think about The shit I've been through Constantly thinking I'm vulnerable Cus I'm so kind and so honourable Opened my heart up a million times Sometimes I wish I'd just been confined I've had so many ups and downs Maybe it's part of the merry go round I swear sometimes it's hard to let go The sins of your past And the pain that you've found Heartbreak is something that you just face The idea that nobody wants to embrace Be honest, I'm glad I've encountered it Such a concept That needs to be bothered with Everything that happens to you Happens for a reason or a purpose Doesn't matter at the time If you can't see it When you take a moment on your own To think about your state of being Use the time you have To find your sense of deeper meaning I lost my sense of being Didn't even know why I was still breathing Feeling numb to life's many teachings Didn't want to listen to religion's preachings But that was a previous season Slowly I'm recovering from these demons My heart's still beating And I'm still here Ready to keep on dreaming I'm seeking to find a brand new path That'll put me on a road To understand the world Wanting power is on my creative zone It's about knowledge It's about wisdom When entering the kingdom It's taken me time To realize who I am As a person Not saying that my journey's complete All I know is it's working All these burdens holding me down I'd rather just let them out And be woken It's a learning process day after day Stop shaming myself and just focus Know I'm so vocal Easy to read That's the best way I know I might not agree with the way That I handle my thoughts and feelings Makes me feel like I'm a weakling I could give you so many reasons Who cares what others are seeing It's not about them It's about me Learning lessons from previous mistakes That I've made
