In a mess

Going through things, I don’t want to

Talking is not an option.

Regretting decisions

Pretty sure nobody is gonna get

Nobody I trust enough to talk to

Insecure about writing my thoughts.

In a mess

Reels ain’t making it any easier.

Family ain’t the place for this.

This world ain’t place for this.

It’s a weird phase.

You can’t be a kid

You can’t make a bid.

Your opinions are lost in your own thoughts.

You have right they say

Nobody ain’t this way.

Why does it have to be this way?

Why am I making it this way?

This is where it has come to

Could you give me a reason I’ll make it happen?

But How do I know it’s not one of those doors?

That put you in a mindless race.

Thinking about the things that you didn’t say

That you could have

That you should have

I wish I could be open.

I’m tired of the secrecy.

Kept inside of me

Making me feel like a mess

In a mess

I’m tired to see my sleeve wet

From wiping out all the tears, I have shed

Nobody knows about it, and it’s a

plan to keep that way

Enough to experience

Don’t need the added advice.

Talk like you know what happened.

Face the truth nobody can

Ever know one person’s pain.

Let alone the feeling and forget the advice.

That you have dumped on them

Feeling proud of yourself.

Thinking you actually helped

It’s better to take things alone.

Rather than people making it a joke

It’s easy to blame the hormones.

But nobody knows how it really is

Unless you scream out loud and show yourself

And if you dare to do so

You come out as soft and immature

Only to realize it’s all not worth it

Only for you

in a mess

When people make assumptions on your life

Just for there peace of mind

It’s hard to believe that you still.

Got something inside of you

That’s not been poisoned.

From someone’s view

Just to get out of a mess.

That you have created

From bundled up emotions

To avoid some fights.

For your peace of mind

Instead, let’s make it right.

By actually seeing the light

That’s shining on a path.

That you should take

To make some space

And clear out the fire.

Burning in front of your face

It’s hard to be there for someone.

Words alone won’t help them grow.

Walk with them on the shining path.

Help them realize what they got to do.

To get out of a mess.

And that would really say.

How you want them to grow

That you’re not doing it just for the show

Give it some thought, and you would see.

How happy it is

To help someone get out of a mess.

That they thought they never could do

In a mess.
