Yes

I got a bad feeling after saying yes.
Thought it was just my immaturity when really it was my inner child.
They said, "No, don't do it! You've been down this path before!"
I didn't listen to them. I listened to the money.
The money, it says, "You need me to survive. Without me, you're nothing. You're a screw up!"
Without the money, I can't be who I want to be.
Without my inner child, I can't feed myself.
The money and the inner child rarely ever see eye to eye.
That's why I block one if them out for months at a time.
I can't be creative if I don't get alone time.
I can't put food on the table if I'm alone all the time.
Who am I?
Who are you?
What are we?
Together?
