The feeling of failure haunts me
I go through the day feeling less than
While I watch people get more and more
Just need a little give to even the score
Didn’t even realise
That I didn’t love myself
Ingrained thoughts telling me
You will leave if I don’t look like someone else
Always second best
Always second choice.
I’m a mess and I’m sorry
All I know is this much is true,
The worst hating always ends up
Subconsciously you
The world feels a little different
At each end of the scale.
The world is so inconsistent
Deep breath in, exhale.
The routine of nights left alone
When they leave you down on yourself
And you can’t bare being around all that beauty.
Always second best
Always second choice
I’m a wreck and I’m sorry
All I know is this much is true,
The worst shaming always ends up
Subconsciously you
Like I’m living in slow motion
There is nothing I can do
Bleeding out in slow motion
Trying to see this thing through
I’m a mess and I’m sorry
All I know is this much is true,
The worst hating always ends up
Subconsciously you
