ON BEING HONEST
Unveiling Pain: Karissa Frampton's Raw Honesty
Lyrics
I'm too torn to talk about it
Feeling too emotionally conflicted to discuss it
I wish that I could forget it
Desiring to erase or escape the memory
After all, a friend once said
Referencing advice from a friend
It's only real if you acknowledge it
Suggesting that acknowledging something makes it real
I can't keep telling everyone
Not wanting to repeatedly share feelings of being overwhelmed
I'm just overwhelmed right now
Admitting to feeling extremely burdened at the moment
And while that's true there's so much they don't know about
Stating that others aren't fully aware of the depth of the situation
If I'm being honest
Intending to be truthful about personal feelings
I'm not myself
Feeling disconnected from oneself
And if I'm being honest
Expressing a preference for not being discovered or understood
I'd rather not be found
Feeling comfortable when isolated, unlike when found by others
At least when I stay hidden I always know why I'm alone
Understanding the reasons for being alone when hidden
Others aren't so kind to leave a note
Observing the lack of explanation when others cause hurt
I'm struggling every single day
Expressing ongoing internal struggles
I don't know how to be human
Feeling inadequate in understanding how to navigate human emotions
I hate myself and what's even worse is
Experiencing self-loathing, intensified by the inability to share
I can't tell you how I'm doing
Being unable to communicate feelings accurately
I know I'm seeing through a filter
Aware of perceiving reality through a biased lens
But my heart keeps growing bitter
Noting a growing resentment despite this awareness
Why point out my pain if you won't help me in the first place?
Questioning the purpose of highlighting pain without receiving aid
If I'm being honest
Reiterating the lack of connection with oneself
I'm not myself
Expressing a preference for remaining unknown
And if I'm being honest
Feeling discomfort when exposed or understood
I'd rather not be found
Comfort in understanding the reasons for solitude
At least when I stay hidden I always know why I'm alone
Noting the absence of explanations from others for isolation
Others aren't so kind to leave a note
Highlighting the lack of consideration from others
Please just let me be honest when I want to be
Requesting the freedom to express honesty about feelings
Please just let me be in pain in peace
Seeking solitude in pain without interference
Please, I'm not sure myself I'll ever be okay
Expressing doubt about personal recovery
So please just keep looking the other way
Requesting others to ignore personal struggles
If I'm being honest
Reiterating a disconnect with oneself
I'm not myself
Desiring to remain undiscovered or misunderstood
If I'm being honest
Feeling discomfort when others understand
I'd rather not be found
Preferencing solitude over being understood
At least when I stay hidden I always know why I'm alone
Understanding the reasons for isolation when hidden
Others aren't so kind to leave a note
Observing the absence of explanations from others
Please
