Someone

Craving meaning connections
Conversations, lift me out of depression
Sharing in our glories, learning from our lessons
That would truly be a blessing
 
In a world where we wanna move fast
Hear about celebs, sex, drugs, cash, cars
No one wanna show or tell the story of their scars
Put a mute on our hearts
 
Find the time to wine and dine, without me tryna climb inside
I ain’t tryna compromise the kinda ties that I can find
Eyes like mine are wide and tired tryna unwind
Open up the blinds of your mind, let the sun shine
 
You might know my name, but not the full story
You don’t know my pain, or my pleasure, or my glory
If it’s not insane, making bank, or something gory
Your ears aren’t here to support me
 
So what I gotta do?
Fairytales, never end well, that’s true
What if I commit to being me, warts too
Will I have a friend till the end in you?
 
I hope so
But I dont know
It’s a long road
and I go slow
Are you with me
I hope so
But I don’t know
 
Lost friends, now I’m keeping to myself
Even though I’ve got more time focus on my health
Plenty opportunities to stack up on my wealth
This shit lonely as hell
 
If I sound like a bitch for saying this shit
Fuck it I’m a bitch
If I sound like a bitch for saying this shit
Fuck it I’m a bitch
 
We all need someone with us
Cheering us along, hit us with that “big up”
Keep our feet planted when our heads get bigger
Keep our minds sane when we wanna pull the trigger
 
Can I count on you
You can count on me, easy, like 1, 2
That’s all we ever need, maybe more, some do
But as long as I got someone that will always come through
I’m good

I’m good
 
I hope so
But I dont know
It’s a long road
and I go slow
Are you with me
I hope so
But I don’t know
 
I don’t know

Author's Note
After realising I’ve spent the last 2 weeks isolated from the rest of the world, and having no close friends that live near me, it hit me that I haven’t had a meaningful conversation with another human in a long, long time. And now with my parents away on holiday, I’m actually all alone with no human to talk to at all, let alone in any meaningful way. I’d like a friend. I know it’s sad. Don’t pity me. It’s my own fault. But still. Friend please.
