Empty space
Empty mind
Damn I wish that was true
I've confined myself to the inside
The outside was thin
Until I stepped out
Took a breathe in
Felt the emotion
I let myself get trapped in
Sucking in the pain
I wanted to avoid
To run from
But I feel one thing
From my heart
To my mind
I want to act
When I shouldn't
I've tried opening the door
But it's only open a crack
I know I can't control
Other people's reactions
But their reactions
Is what I'm afraid of
It was a realisation
I kept to myself
That I didn't come to terms with
I wish I didn't lie to myself
But after I met that one girl
She made me feel like
I can be myself
But I wish there
We're more people like that
Specifically my family
But I value
Quality
Over Quantity
"Someone like you"
By Adele
We're words I didn't understand as a kid
But i sang them everyday
I was drawn to the piano
And called it the "piano song"
I didn't know the name
The radio didn't tell me
So I created
What I knew
I started to draw back the music
Listening to the words
I started to believe
And created my own
I believe every word they sing
from
Olivia Rodrigo

Heartbreak
Depression
Love
Growing Pains
I live in a new generation now
And I'm 22
Writing this at 22
It's gonna be weird
When I read this back
When I'm 33
If I still keep it
Considering
I've deleted my past
To forget pain
And trauma
And I might want to do that again
