One Day

creativity has been fleeting

left here alone 

with my heart bleeding

i’m so sick of everyone competing

most people just cheating

it seems like 

all the sharks are feeding 

what comes next? another meeting

as I live and breathe 

I take this beating

hoping one day i’ll be eating

Focus

feeling disconnected from my soul

when did my heart become one big black hole

my god how am I still coal?

figuring out life has been taking a toll

for a while, I thought I was on a roll

all I keep hearing is focus on your goals

Attachment

they all made me smile

something I hadn’t done in a while

it almost felt like the pain was worth the miles

but my heart was in denial

getting too close just isn’t my style

Embedded

no memories

keep me safe and serene

until they show up in my dreams

wanting more from me

I shut down, so I don’t see

all my nightmares chill for free

they’re starting to make roots

like a tree

embedded so deep in me
