Separated Anxiety

Found a good way to pass for fine

Here in the corner of my mind

Simply say yea I’m all right

Maybe underthink instead this time

So I’ve practiced and I’ve tried

To keep the ugly stuff inside

Keep my distance miles wide

And my truths half when I like

So when I said

“I don’t hate myself I guess

I’m just tired and overwhelmed”

At least I’m glad I finally said something I felt

But if there was something i could not say

To unaddress the things we can’t change

These fighting words could use a rеphrase

Present thе past but in a new way

Turns out i was watering the weeds

Hoping to root the good in me

But growths no good with no good seed

I’m here just long enough to leave

So when I said

“I don’t hate myself I guess

I’m just tired and overwhelmed”

At least I’m glad I finally said something I felt

Cause what I meant

It’s not that leaving doesn’t hurt

But you’re the subject of that verb

The better that things go the more im gone

Think that can stay unheard
