Done Crashing

I guess I’m just tired of worrying about what everyone else thinks

I guess I’m just tired of feeling so empty

Living for everyone else has never been my dream

This empathy kills my self esteem

Not because I’m worried about to whom and what I bring

But because I have no time to worry about my own being

I’m starting to see why people only care about themselves

No one gives a shit about you until they need your help

Focusing on me is something new

I felt

For the first time in years that I could take off the seat belt

Be more free

Ride around being unapologetically me

Show people these sides I’ve never let scream

I have talents I’ve never showed

I have talents even to me are unknown

I want to uncover everything I am but the car crashes and is towed

Before I can even believe I can

This time will be different though

This time there will be less people on the road

The ones that really matter won’t hit me

And the ones who leave my car shattered

Won’t be with me

I guess what I’m saying is goodbye to the ones that easily forget me

I’m going to show you all what you’ve been missing

And if you dare drive in my vicinity

When I’m getting higher than I’ve ever been

Please know the guard rails

Aren’t as sturdy as they seem

and if you start to fall

I’ll do as you did and say

“I didn’t see anything”

*Skkkrrrrtt*

**CRASH**

“Did you hear something?”

*BRROOMMMM*

**FAST**

“Nope, nothing”
