I feel so shitty...
but a soda is a dollar and fifty cents
and I think I can manage that.
Can we crack a window 'cause I'm really
hot everywhere I go.
My flowers are already dying and I
don't think that's fair
'cause I just got them this week.
There's flower food all over the vase
but drooping petals all over my desk.
I can't go to work anymore
it's just too hard.
I fear going all day and all week
so I might as well quit.
You said, "If it's not making you happy,
why would you do it?"
But I laughed because that's never been me.
I feel like the world rushed by without me
and sometimes I get these head rushes that make me feel
like the momentum grabbed me for a moment
but realized I'm a lost cause.
I know what you're thinking
because they've all said it before:
"You were always the one who worked so hard,
but laughed just as loudly."
"Girl, you gotta get some confidence!"
"You do what's best for you."
But it's not that easy;
and I'm drowning in the cage
I have the key to.
