Slowburn
I’ve been noticing
How fkn exhausting it is to
Be the particular way that I am
About things being done
The right way
And I’ve
Been wanting
For a life of higher luxury
To pamper myself with status
Adorning myself with
Earthly desires
Filling the
Void
That stares back
I usually do it with music
Rap has been bumping
To my heartbeat and
Keeping me going
While arousing
Me too
Consuming the
Things I can have because
Right now I’m not allowing
Myself to have anything
I need for survival
Slow suicide
Starving
For a sense of control
Trying not to focus on
Other things that
Come cutting
Away at
Me
When I
Can’t sleep and
I reach out for you but
You’re just too far away
Because I’ve hidden
Myself too well
This time
I’m burnt the fuck out
