"Who you Finna Try"


So sick of the world
Never thought I'd feel so alone
My friends love me
But as soon as they leave
I’m alone again
Been crying myself to sleep 18 days straight
So fed up with people's s***
I don’t have time to play games
Don't mess with my heart
Don't mess with my mind
Don't try to make me feel what you want
Whether or not I want to feel it myself
Let me feel it on my own
Let me figure out life for myself
I wish people would stop telling me what's right
Got too much life to live
So give me just a couple days, months, years
To find what everything means
Whether I get a sign or signal
Something subtle to have it all make sense
I wish I could turn back time
Reverse decisions I made
But then I'd lose it everything I have now
But how valuable are my friends?
How painful are my enemies?
If I can learn to love myself
Then who else really matters?
No one.
So give me some space
Because I’m so sick of this waiting
Fighting trying to do right by everyone
Never good enough for anyone
Except the ones not good enough for me
Just need space
And time
Just wait
I'll find it someday

Sometimes my friends don't understand me and I just need a break from the world and the people and everything. . .
