A behind the scenes look at the struggle of maintaining a sense of esteem and security when your closest friend, and enemy, is yourself.



I feel forgotten, lost at the bottom

Happyness stayed for the weekend, Mondane's left my room's hollow

The writings on my walls maybe scared her away

Cursed incantations known as feelings, seen everyday


Building up body mass seems like a faulty mask when you can't help but throw yourself in a body bag

Full bar reception for this full-on rejection

Learning to pull myself together, still I struggle with disconnection


I've known myself too long to know I love and hate myself

I'm too damn smart to know my smarts are bad for my health

Such wealth holds a consequence, ain't it coincidence hypersensitivity's the reason confidence was never my best acknowledgement

When my brain has a plethora of options just to abolish it


Looking down my history of friends most of their company was misery

Not they fault, they was attracted to my energy

Apples Apples, Friends Enemies

Putting it quite simply: I'm My Favorite Frienemy


So, it shouldn't be that hard to see, being the best friend of me doesn't always feel what's best for me

Painting shades of me, painfully, sometimes aimlessly

Yet my aim's to be more than what I've been chained to be

Not letting these oceans of emotions make a cave of me


The stress of my fears, depression from my tears reminding me those chains are still near

And at this moment all I want to do is adhere

But this pen tip is looking like slit wrists, I think I'll just leave it here

My best friend is calling, and he still needs me here-
