164: Overthinking

How do I treat myself right
when I don't even know myself?
How do you find the light
and your higher self?

People on the internet talk to much,
like grass is greener on the other side.
Truth be told never spoke as such,
but we're all hurting on the inside.

The burden can sometimes feel a lot
other times quite intense.
You never know what you got
until it's gone from your existence.

You never know who is who,
or what someone is going through.
This isn't a game for most to assume
who wins and who is going to lose.

These empty walls I swear they talk,
tell me to go out and be someone.
But I'm scared to go into the sidewalk
and feel like I am lost cause.

I'm trying my hardest to succeed
but there is always someone more capable.
There is got to be something for me,
or someone waiting and able.
