[suck it up] buttercup

(07/26/2019)

2:55pm

it hurts pretty hard,

when your words hit like fist.

 

all i wanted was a hello.

 

and i'm trying.

lemme see through your eyes.

but,

seems like i still don't understand.

 

I've been having these talks

with myself.

and hey,

we're missing people.

and though I claim to understand your reason

why (?)

I don't really understand.

because you don't understand.

 

i get fed much-needed scriptures,

but when you gon' stop.

to hear

my

interpretation?

 

i got friends in the fantasy,

i turned them bad boys into reality.

but in reality,

them real people,

got real problems, 

and real plans.

I never really grew up.

still the third grader sittin in the closet.

hidin' from the monsters in reality

(called reality)
