it was those endless nights I stayed up trying to explain to myself why I was never good enough to meet unreachable standards
crying to myself wondering why the love wasn't equal and my outcome was to suffer
maybe it was because I seen life differently and I spoke freely when undesired situations arose

misunderstood with no guidance expressing the need to be in a better place—situation
i grew hate towards myself and lost faith along the way
a prayer was not a savior to what i had become
